MINGW-packages: mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator could not find platform windows

Hello,

Any attempt to run a program build with mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 fails with:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "".

Trying to run mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator produces the same error.

You have to copy all required Qt DLLs (or use tool that does it for you http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html). In this specific case you need also /mingw64/share/qt5/plugins/platforms/qwindows.dll to be copied into platforms/qwindows.dll.
