Support for extra libraries in APK in Android QT Creator -- Change in name

[BogDan]

Is up to you !

But I think you have do more some changes, currently I'm trying to add support for armeabi and armeabi-v7a libs to QtCreator (armv5 libs will be copied to armeabi and armv7 libs to armeabi-v7a), so, please wait until I'll push my changes and please change your feature accordingly.


Thank you in advance !

Cheers,
BogDan.
