Comment(by Shondoit):

 I would also recommend using a dedicated folder for all requirements to
 lose dependencies on version numbers and os architecture.

 For example, right now these are used in windows.mk
 MING=/c/MinGW/bin
 QT_LIB=/c/Qt/$(QT_VER)/bin
 WIX_LIB="/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Installer XML v3.5/bin"
 PYTHON=/c/Python26/python.exe
 SEVENZIP="/c/Program Files/7-Zip/7z.exe"

 If all these were, for example, in C:\BuildTools\ then WIX_LIB would not
 be dependent on a 64-bit specific folder and Python would not be dependent
 on it's version number and be simpler to change in the future.
 I suggest, for the examples above, but not limited to:
 MING=/c/BuildTools/MinGW/bin
 QT_LIB=/c/BuildTools/Qt/bin
 WIX_LIB="/c/BuildTools/WIX/bin"
 PYTHON=/c/BuildTools/Python/python.exe
 SEVENZIP="/c/BuildTools/7-Zip/7z.exe"

 This is merely a suggestion.
