[Qbs] Library- and Include-Probe for msys GCC on the example of the protobuf module

[Björn Schäpers]

Thanks for the response.

This is fine for me. And yes msys provides .pc files, but that leaves me with 
another problem, at least when used from the QtCreator. I only have pkg-config 
from my 64 bit system in the path, an thus when compiling for 32 bit the wrong 
libraries are picked up.

Regards,
Björn.
