Of course, this is not as fun as porting Qt but we can _compare_ all three build tools on that project. It is huge, uses code generation so it was a good playground for qbs. Why not use it as a playground for cmake? Then we'all have _numbers_ (speed, project files size and so on)

+1, if you cannot port QtCreator to CMake, then you have no chance to
port Qt to Cmake.
Both QtCreator and Qbs can be built and developed using QtCreator+Qbs.

Interesting experience: port Qbs and QtCreator to CMake and let see
what sort of experience it is to develop QtCreator and Qbs using
QtCreator+CMake.
