[QBS] run script after building products

[Denis Shienkov]

Hi all.

Seems, this issue is similar to my question:
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qbs/2015-February/001217.html

I too need to run the WiX product after building of all others products.
But I can't get any suggestion how to do it.. :(

In previous solution is offers to use the "uses" directive inside of Rule..
But, what if the "end" product (for example as WiX) has not any of "public"
rules? I mean that it is impossible to add the "usings" directive (has not
a place for it)..
