[Qbs] Does QBS know about old-school macOS resources / Rez ?

Hello everyone,

Does QBS have any awareness of macOS resource files (the extremely 
old-fashioned ones, which still exist, and which are compiled using 
/usr/bin/Rez, which has been deprecated since Xcode 6, but not replaced!)?

These are still needed to compile certain specialised pieces of software 
(for example, Adobe PhotoShop Plug-Ins …).

QMake supports these using the rez.prf component.

The only location I can see Rez mentioned in the github repo is in 
MacOSX-Product-Types.xcspec — in some of the Xcode boilerplate, so I'm 
guessing not.

I thought I'd ask here before embarking on writing my own Rez module for 
QBS, according to the instructions at 
http://doc.qt.io/qbs/module-item.html — I assume that's the right thing 
to do in this case (have been away from QBS for a while and just 
restarting!).

Thanks in advance!
