We also look at the libQtCore* binary and extract the "ABI" from that.
This ABI is then matched against the compiler when setting both up in
a kit. That is what causes trouble here and what requires the "faking"
Andre is talking about.

I do want to leave that check in since the "I have Qt-mingw installed
and have successfully built an application using MSVC 2010 but it
keeps crashing." are not seen anymore. Ok, I still run into "Qt
Creator won't let me build even though I set up MSVC 2010 compiler
with my mingw Qt", but noticeably less of those;-)
