HOWTO qt app without ministro

[Mixx Support]

Hi all,

Owning up! It was me who's kicked up some dust with proposing the 
non-ministro deployment option on the following thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-qt/as1zbWzPahw

I've created a new thread to avoid crosstalk with the HOWTO:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-qt/c4tlwuqW1_0


At this stage, I'd just like to clarify things a bit.

I AM proposing a deployment option that would bundle Qt so libs in the 
APK instead of on-device download via ministro. The so libs I am talking 
about are the original ones, delivered in the Necessitas release.

I AM NOT proposing static linking (would require commercial license).

I AM NOT proposing that everybody should be building their own DLLs 
(would have to comply with LGPL).

Thanks for listening.

Thanks,
Mixxer
