It is true, that although you specify a minimal configuration, all files 
are getting compiled. The difference is, that the configuration itself 
adds defines like QT_NO_LINEEDIT or QT_NO_<left-out-feature>. So the 
preprocessor removes all the code which is not supposed to get into the 
library. This is the easiest way to not manipulate the build system 
itself but being able to reduce actually compiled code.

As Thomas already suggested, you should recognize a significant size 
difference in the generated dlls.
