That, the executables, the headers and the mkspecs. Thats enough to get
cmake happy. But not necessarily to get your app to build and/or run
properly. What you really need from a Qt installation depends on which
plugins you use, wether you want to use designer or any of the other
tools. Wether you need examples/demos or the documentation.

That won't help as it'll only find the bare minimum to link a minimal Qt
sample app. For running a full app you'll need more.

Its a shame that Qt on windows doesn't support the -prefix switch for
configure like on linux, that would allow to create a minimal Qt
installation suitable to zip it up.

One other possibility to find out is to download the binary package (not
the SDK, the mingw one) and check whats included there. You can probably
leave out demos/examples and documentation if this is just for building.
