[Qt-creator] qmake that's not literally a file called "qmake" when adding a new Qt Version

I usually build from source, but I’m on a new Mac with not much CPU, so I’m trying the pre-built packages.

Installing Qt 4.8 from pre-built packages leaves the qmake binary as /usr/bin/qmake-4.8, with symlinks to it from /usr/bin/qmake and /Developer/Tools/Qt/qmake.

I’m also using the current pre-built Creator (OS X 64 bit, 3.2.2, built Oct 10). Going to Projects -> Build & Run -> Manage Kits… -> Qt Versions -> Add… opens a file chooser dialog. That dialog won’t let me select either qmake-4.8 or qmake. (I’m guessing because one of them isn’t called qmake and the other is a symlink, not an executable file).

I can obviously work around it by copying files around, but does that seem to be a Creator bug?

Cheers,
  Steve
