[Qt-creator] Some issues concerning dlls in the qt sdk

[Porfirio]

I compiled QtCreator with Mingw on Windows XP without any problem and it 
run's fine!
I think that if you ship QtCreator compiled with mingw you could make 
the folder system better

SDK
     \qt
         \bin
             \designer.exe
             \Qt*.dll #mingw
             ...
         \lib
             ...
         ...
     \bin
         \QtCreator.exe
         \Qt*.dll #msvc
         ...
     \mingw
         ...
     ...

Could become

SDK
     \bin
         \designer.exe
         \QtCreator.exe
         \Qt*.dll #mingw
         ...
     \lib
         ...
     \mingw
         ...
     ...

So i could set my QT_DIR to the SDK dir and not to the SDK\qt

Even mingw distribution could be bundled on same structure, but that 
might be more complicated

I also agree that would be cool to have the static libraries, maybe not 
bundle it, make it an optional download
Compiling Qt static on my Pentium 4 takes ages xD
