Upgrading to latest Qt 5.1 broke my 5.0.2 project

So it appears that installing the newest release of Qt can potentially break your existing projects.  This, as far as I can tell, occurs when you install the wrong version of the installer, which now comes in two flavors for x64 windows.  One is for DirectX and the other for OpenGL.

So to keep your existing projects compiling properly install the OpenGL version.  However, this is just a minor issue, and I actually think installing the DirectX version on windows might be a better choice.
