+=== To include  PostgreSQL support in Qt ===
 
+If you want to build Qt with PostgreSQL support you need to download
+PostgreSQL, install it and create a library you can later link with Qt.
 
+Download from .../binary/v8.2.5/win32/postgresql-8.2.5-1.zip from an
+PostgreSQL.org Mirror and install.
+
+PostgreSQL is currently build with MinGW and comes with headers and libraries
+for MinGW.  The headers can be used with Visual C++ out of the box, but the library
+is only shipped in DLL and archive (.a) form and therefore cannot be used with
+Visual C++ directly.
+
+To create a library copy following sed script to the file mkdef.sed in
+PostgreSQL lib directory:
+
+```
+/Dump of file / {
+	s/Dump of file \([^	 ]*\)$/LIBRARY \1/p
+	a\
+EXPORTS
+}
+/[ 	]*ordinal hint/,/^[	]*Summary/ {
+ /^[ 	]\+[0-9]\+/ {
+   s/^[ 	]\+[0-9]\+[ 	]\+[0-9A-Fa-f]\+[ 	]\+[0-9A-Fa-f]\+[ 	]\+\([^ 	=]\+\).*$/	\1/p
+ }
+}
+```
+
+and process execute in the Visual Studio C++ command line (from Programs menu):
+
+cd c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin
+dumpbin /exports ..\bin\libpq.dll | sed -nf ../lib/mkdef.sed >..\lib\libpq.def
+cd ..\lib
+lib /def:libpq.def /machine:x86
+
+You'll need an sed for that to work in your path (e.g. from cygwin or msys).
+
+That's almost it.  You only need to the include and lib path to INCLUDE and LIB
+in vcvars.bat respectively.
+
+
+== Compile Qt ==
+
+Open the Visual Studio C++ command line and cd to c:\Qt\4.x.x where you
+extracted the source and enter:
+
+configure -platform win32-msvc2005
+nmake
+nmake install
+
+Add -qt-sql-odbc -qt-sql-psql to the configure line if your want odbc and
+PostgreSQL support build into Qt.

+== Configure Visual C++ to use Qt ==

+After building configure the Visual Studio Express IDE to use Qt:

-== Environment Variables
+Hint:  You can also add

+QString = t=<d->data, su>, size=<d->size, i>

+That way the Debugger will show the contents of QString when you point at or
+watch a variable in the debugger.  There are probably much more additions -
+feel free to add some - I just needed QString and took the first hit in google
+I could find.
