[Development] Qt 5.9

[André Hartmann]

Hi,

This nice thing about the MinGW package is, that you get Qt, Creator, 
the compiler and the debugger in one package. I already recommended this 
package to people that wanted to start Windows development and this 
always worked fine.

So another +1 for MinGW 32bit build from my side.

Andre

PS: And I never want to got back to early Creator 2.x times, when you 
had to put all this together your own, and the requirements changed for 
every new Creator version...
