This is a problem.  At present you have the following options:

1.  Test for the version the first time the app runs.  Maybe have your 
app run invisible the first time.  You can set a flag for that.
2.  If it finds that an older version of QT is available then you set 
another flag to turn off QT on the next startup.  Then have your app 
quit and restart automatically.  Else continue on happily.
3.  When it runs for the second time, it checks the flag and turns off 
QT.

This is the no user needed method.

Uglier would be to notify the user and have them restart the app.

In the end....down the road....maybe there is a crossplatform way for 
the rev devs to make this check without loading QT in.
