I've been working in a company where we used to do that kind of stuff a lot. 
But I've left them shortly before Qt 4.7 was released - so i don't have all 
the tricks I did there at hand; and I'm currently not using Windows, so I 
can't test very much.

However, I know that compiling anything with /CLR is a big challenge at times. 
In fact giving /clr to the compiler instructs it to treat everything it is fed 
as input to be compiled into managed code, including one or another implicitly 
defined "thunked" methods. In my experience, this is not what you want most of 
the time.

You can try to wrap the includes into "#pragma managed" blocks[1] in order to 
tell the compiler: "Hey, look at this. It's C++, you still know what that is, 
don't you?"

i.e. like:

#pragma managed( push, off )
#include <QtCore/QStringList>
#pragma managed( pop )

HTH,
Sascha
