Protip: Properly built PE, NE, LE or LX format DLL and EXE files are 
supposed to contain a
"Version information" structure, which specifies a textual file 
description, copyright
information (such as "(C) year,year FSF Inc." and "LGPL 3.0+" as well as 
computer
comparable binary version numbers in the form U16[4] { major, minor, 
sub, patch } .

Specificially this format contains a fixed length binary structure with 
flags and binary
version numbers, and a set of strings indexed by standard ID strings 
such as "Copyright" .
The string values can be provided in any desired set of human languages, 
such as English,
Norwegian and Japanese by providing a list of complete structures for 
each numbered
Win32 locale, (such as 0x040904B0 = US English, UTF-16LE strings) .

There are tools and Win32 APIs to extract this structure from its 
designated file locations,
as well as the option to independently implement this in an portable 
tool to extract this
from a POSIX system.  The easiest GUI tool is to right click on the file 
in Windows, select
Properties and find the tab that shows all the strings in the language 
most similar to the
current locale.

So if the Qt build scripts include this information, checking if a DLL 
is >= a required version
should be easy, even if /bin/cp has reset the timestamps.
