As much as I love chocolatey, everybody is talking about installing Qt, 
and you are showing how to install Qt Creator - what is the connection?

Right now, there are no way to install Qt itself with chocolatey.
I would be more than happy if The Qt Company was providing chocolatey 
packages for Qt, but it doesn't seem to take this road :)
