Make sure __you use the same mingw version for all components__.

I would never have published that example if I hadn't gotten it working on
Windows myself first -- but you need to use the exact same compiler for R,
Rcpp, RInside and Qt.

Which is entirely doable on Windows, but tedious.  Like many other things on Windows.
