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

Since you would want QtCreator to run even when you recompiled Qt with different settings,
it is necessary to ship extra Qt libraries together with the QtCreator binary. But these sum up to 30 MB only anyhow.

Regarding the dlls in the qt/lib folder, it seems that we actually don't need them. Even though Qt behaves that way since quite a while :). We'll investigate further, thanks for bringing this up.
