Hmm... What is the reason for not doing it like all the rest of the Qt world 
does it? That is, having the SDK template generate a minimalistic main.cpp and 
a qtquickapplicationviewer.cpp which does the adaption for the platform. Now 
that the SDK seems to handle compilation just fine IMO that would be the best 
option. Also considering that in case we need to update something in there, 
qtcreator already features a mechanism to automatically update just that part.

Additional benefits would be to only have a binary to run instead of exporting 
paths, choosing some QQuickView wrapper and fiddling around with qml file 
paths on the command line.
