Since the recent build changes in QtWebKit I get this error while linking QtWebKit.

>From my investigations, this seems to happen since there is no more obj files linked into the DLL, only static libraries.
The way the linker usually links to MSVCRT.dll is by looking at linking directives in obj files, which depends if they were compiled with /MD, /MT, etc.

I didn't try out yet to fix it but I'm leaving on vacation and this is the result of my investigation. I guess that forcing the correct libs to the linker or adding an empty .cpp file in api.pri just to carry those options to the linker should do the trick.

This is using the --no-webkit2 switch.
