Qt application with static linking is gonna weight about 2MB. Does
this sound acceptable? Probably it is.

The KDE project is working on windows installer for KDE, which is
capable of getting necessary third party libraries. I imagine this
might be good for Boost -- for example, libz is not commonly installed
on Windows. However, I have no idea how easy it would be to adjust
that.
