 already using Qt (which also doesn't provide a C API) - so everything
 there is already tied to msvc2010 (which is what Qt was built with).

 Same packagers who are uploading packages now. Except that there is an
 option to produce binaries for specific compilers.

 I was saying if not all packages are not available for msvc2013 or
 something else. That can be rebuild from the existing package source.
 Right ?
