Thanks for the detailed explaination. I don't think the workaround
is too bad. FWIW, here are the 3 additional lines that I usually add
to my *.pro files for Mingw-cross-env:

    win32 {
        LIBS += -ljpeg ...
    }

For some projects, an additional "QT +=" line is needed, but that's it.
Not a big deal. And it's still less than the 5 additional lines which
I need for MacOS X:  ;-)

    macx {
        QMAKE_MAC_SDK = /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
        CONFIG += x86 ppc ...
        LIBS += -liconv ...
    }


Greets,
Volker
