Pushed a Qt.mk that compiled Qt o on both native ming and cross build mingw.

One thing missing on the native mingw build is that it appears to NOT 
install the .pc files from QTSRC/lib/pkgconfig with the rest of the install.

If anyone else can verify that, something will have to be added to fix it.

My octave build didnt see Qt again :( but is understandable, as it 
relies on the pkg-config settings for detect Qt.
