Prepare the environment for the windows release #2

When I try to run the temporary .EXE files generated during the tests it complains about a lot of missing .DLLs. I've found out that it's because of the building settings.

Follow the instructions on Qt documentation about preparing everything for Widows deployment. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html

After some research:

The link mentioned above (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html) is actually a guide for the automatic deployment tool for windows. Its a nice approach.

An other option is to do it manually in a similar way to this tutorial: https://wiki.qt.io/Deploy_an_Application_on_Windows

We can also deploy it in a single .exe file including all the dependencies (static linking): https://wiki.qt.io/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows
