[Lazarus] Win32 Qt dll version that works with Lazarus

[Phil Hess]

I believe that originally only qtcore and qtgui were required for LCL-Qt, but the list has grown over time. Qt is starting to look like .NET/Mono in its all-encompassing, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach, as well as in its size (the entire Mono framework on OS X is only 200MB).

Thanks.
