Scan for MinGW kits is not working

Just for the record: Maybe I am doing something wrong but it seems to me that cmake.mingwSearchDirs is not loaded from the configuration and thus kit_options.minGWSearchDirs is undefined and no scan for MinGW kits is performed:

    if (isWin32 && kit_options.minGWSearchDirs) {
      for (const dir of convertMingwDirsToSearchPaths(kit_options.minGWSearchDirs)) {
        scan_paths.add(dir);
      }
    }

This needs further investigation for me to confirm it.

This made me wonder about the following: Clang doesn’t have a variable cmake.mingwSearchDirs but has the hardcoded default paths. The path to MinGW is set in package.json. Perhaps it makes sense to align the implementations - add a hardcoded value to MinGW and a variable to Clang. Or a better option could be just to add a generic variable cmake.compilerSearchPaths (I don’t think there is one) to replace:

"cmake.mingwSearchDirs": [
  "C:\\MinGW"
]

and use it everywhere for current and future compilers.

I have the same problem.
