What are the plans for integrating this into QtCreator? So far using the 
wizard to create a new Ubuntu application creates a qmake project. Also the 
rest of the cmake integration in QtCreator is not quite complete yet.

While I personally like cmake a lot and am happy to use it for projects where 
we're upstream, I'm not really sure how this would work for our app 
development offering yet.

Are we planning to improve QtCreator's cmake support or will we ship a 
QtCreator style arm chroot for compiling qmake projects in there?

Cheers,
Michael
