[Qgis-developer] Problem compiling PyQGIS binding on Win32 w/MSVC

[Gary Sherman]

While other have reportedly done this, I'm getting the following error  
when trying to build the bindings:

It looks to me to be a problem with the moc generated file not being  
linked in the qgis library, but I can't seem to trace the cause. I  
suppose it could be in the sip code as well.
