Qt 5.0.0 Beta 2 Installer Structure

h1. Qt5.0.0 installer component structure

This is the current plan how to make components included in Qt5 visible to user in installer GUI and how they are saved on users computer. There might still be changes in naming or in the structure before the design is finalized.

This is how the installer GUI is on windows (online) installer, other platforms will follow same structure. Offline installer only has one compiler per each installer.
