As Qt Creator is working towards integrating qbs into the product, I 
think it's only natural that the qbs files are added to the Qt Creator 
repository. Qt and Qt Creator are two separate products, and obviously 
can have separate policies.

Also, qbs is already capable of building Qt Creator, so adding the files 
make sense. It's not yet capable of compiling Qt, so adding those files 
obviously don't make sense yet.
