Don't open qt.pro or qtbase.pro *because* there are hundreds of subprojects. I 
wouldn't recommend opening src/src.pro either.

Open the .pro for each of the library, plugin, example or test that you want 
to run. For example, if you want to modify QtCore, you need src/corelib/
corelib.pro and the relevant unit tests in tests/auto/corelib.

Configure Qt with the -developer-build option and build it once.
