I wouldn't consider it a restriction not to support an exotic shell.

What's your experience in using Qbs with Yocto? Once you solved the
EnvironmentScriptProbe, were there a lot of additional steps needed? Any
pitfalls? I guess a howto would be nice in general and might be interesting
for some people. On the other hand - and without having much knowledge about
yocto - how high is the risk that this howto would be outdated by tomorrow?

Probing exported environment variables from a shell script deserves a
generic probe. If you could make it work for .bat and ps1 as well, even
better. Don't forget to add a testcase in test_blackbox.cpp.
Thank you for you contribution.
