VS2008 SP1?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a performance difference? A C++ ABI difference? I've heard this before 
and am 
trying to get a feel for it's value. Thanks, -Gabe

No performance difference, but the RTM and SP1 C++ run times are different, so 
cannot
be mixed. I copied the following from a relevant blog post at
http://dcsoft.wordpress.com/

Starting with Qt 4.6, the LPGL version now comes pre-built for Visual Studio 
2008
RTM.  If this fits your need, you can simply install it and skip to INSTALL 
VISUAL
STUDIO ADD-IN. However, you will need to build Qt yourself if:

   1. You are using VS 2008 and you have installed SP1 and/or the ATL Security
Update, and you are building your app with the _BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION
defined (or another means to specify the non-RTM version).  This is because 
both Qt
and your app need to be built with the same version of the Visual Studio
redistributables, and Qt has been built with RTM, but your app is not being 
built
with RTM.

Right. I could see how it would be helpful to the people who are linking 
everything 
against SP1. 

But given my time constraints, the space constraints on this site for 
distributing 
installers and the smaller audience for SP1 builds, I'm afraid I'm making the 
call to 
leave people with this need to their own devices of building Qt with the 
appropriate 
tool chain.

VS2010 though is around the corner for Qt 4.7, and I plan on looking into 
supporting 
that platform.
