Yes, I do not particularly struggle with anything:) This task can be 
solved in another way (without a resource file). I was just interested 
in trying out QBS capabilities. Perhaps in the future there will be a 
problem that can only be solved in this way.

Here is my task: I am making a mechanism for checking spelling. The 
mechanism requires a map of language trigrams. The trigram map is 
generated from trigram files 
(https://github.com/hkarel/qgit/tree/3x-spellcheck/src/spellcheck/sonnet/trigrams). 
This work is just done by the utility "AuxiliaryApplication." Next, I 
planned to add this trigram map to the program as a resource.

Regarding auto-generated qrc file: if such a generated file can be used 
together with the manual qrc file, then I will totally agree such a 
solution.
