Add --include-qt-plugins options

[JaegerStephan]

Nuitka has the option to include qt plugins with the option --include-qt-plugins followed by a list of plugins.
How can this be integrated into the github action because there is no option for qt?

[kayhayen]

That is right, and actually it's an extremely import one. Please allow for a bit of time, because I want to use this, to somehow generate this from Nuitka's full set of options, rather than manually aligning them.

Hey @kayhayen!
Sounds good. Can you roughly estimate when it will be available?
Great job, by the way! 🙂

[kayhayen]

I estimate that it will not be available before its ready. That will be sooner if you help. Otherwise I am not making promises on time scales outside of Nuitka commercial, and not even there really.

[JaegerStephan]

Can you please let me know how I could help. do you have a suggestion what to do next? Is it restricted to Nuitka-Action or are changes for Nuitka necessary as well?

[kayhayen]

If you look at the Nuitka action code, it will be actually trivial. The thing is, right now, powershell and bash code duplicate for Windows and macOS/Linux to command building code. I would love to see that unified. In fact, I will only do it when I do that first. But I will merge a PR that does add it with both syntaxes. Bonus points for unifying it though. Windows on GitHub can just use bash too. No point in this being duplicated because of shell syntax.

With the 1.7 release, this will be working, however, for 1.8, there is actually a change, where sensible is a default now, and doesn't have to be provided (again) anymore, and to subtract from things, you specify the --noinclude-qt-plugins option instead. We need to add that to GitHub actions once 1.8 is released, which however is still a bit of. Obviously only a clone of your PR.
