good question! :)
in the case of the bundle, it should only include QtCore and QtGui
libs (probably the image plugins too).

But in the case of the installer, I think it's a bad idea to install a
broken Qt installation system wide :-)

Don't know, googling a bit looks like a some folks are hitting this
same issue with PyQt/Qt bundled, some people report success using the
