Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet/issues/33

Currently, there is a Qml.Net NuGet package.

Need to think about the following NuGet packages:

Qml.Net.WindowsBinaries: This one should be easy, considering there aren't many shared libraries on Windows.
Qml.Net.OSXBinaries: This one should also be easy, again, considering the shared libraries used on OSX don't change much.
Qml.Net.LinuxBinaries: This will be a bitch to do. It is possible, but if we do, I'd like to statically compile in every dependency of Qt, including Qt itself. The only think dependent upon the system would be the glib version, which doesn't change much from distro-to-distro.

Working on Windows now. We currently depend on the following .dlls/paths:

Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Network.dll
Qt5Qml.dll
Qt5Quick.dll
Qt5QuickControls2.dll
Qt5QuickTemplates2.dll
plugins/*
qml/*

Before loading the app, we'd have to first locate the plugins directory and set the QT_PLUGIN_PATH. Same thing for the qml directory with the QML2_IMPORT_PATH.

I'm going to try to statically compile all the .dlls into a single QmlNet.dll. I might try to use mingw, since Windows implementations don't have to link against the lib (just standard C exports).

Windows is done.

Mac/Linux is next!
