You cannot create "complex" projects from scratch, something like the
equivalent of "empty qmake project", "subdir project", ...

I've just went through the "New project" dialog/wizard (Official
OpenSource QtC 4.3 for Windows), and here is the list of project
template that allows you or not to choose your build system:

Application:
- Qt Widget: KO
- Qt Console: OK
- Qt Quick: OK
- Qt Quick control 2: OK
- Qt Canvas 3D: OK

Library:
- C++ library: KO
- Qt Quick2 extension plugin: KO
- Qt Creator plugin: KO

Other:
- Qt unit test: KO
- Qt Custom designer widget: KO
- Qt quick UI prototype: KO
- Auto test project: OK
- Subdirs project: KO
- Empty qmake project: KO
- code snippet: KO

Non-Qt project:
- C app: OK
- C++ app: OK

I will have a look into this.

I don't think there is a problem atm, i just wanted to give a list of
features I would need if i wanted to showcase Qtc and Qbs.
