What are the reasons for deploying with MinGW? :)

Last time I checked, Qt Creator compiled with MSVC was indeed (albeit 
marginally) faster on startup than the same one compiled with a MinGW toolchain.

Anyhow, most Qt Creator developers on Windows use MSVC, so that's IMO a good 
enough reason to stick to it for the binaries, too. 

Aside from personal preference, there are also practical reasons for this: You 
still can't actually debug Qt Creator in gdb on Windows because it runs out of 
memory ...
