[Qt-creator] Makefile.{Debug, Release}, qtc-gdbmacros, etc location

Hi,

First, the .pro proved to be a cool and easy way to edit the project 
files. Congratulations on that choice.

My question is "can I make the project space a little bit more tidy"?
Well the answer is definitely yes.

Example, right now I'm using a structure like
project/
    bin/ (where the TARGETS go)
    lib/ (where the lib TARGETS go - only if a static lib or so)
    inc/ (where the headers go - if the project is simple I don't use 
this and put everything in src)
    src/ (where the c/c++ files go)
    qtc/ (where the qt-creator project files and therefore 
Makefiles/qtc-*/etc files go)
    Doxyfile

In this configuration only the Doxyfile goes in the project root. 
Actually, I think that the .pro would look good there.

Now, I'm not saying that qt-creator should use this scheme for its 
default file structure, not at all.
Fortunately I can do it all with the .pro.

The only thing that would be cool, and it's probably already possible 
(so please tell me), would be to have the .pro in the project's root 
dir, and the auto generated stuff would go inside a directory of my choice.

Is this possible? Can I specify where Makefiles.*, qtc-gdbmacros, Debug 
and Realease go?

Actually, it doesn't make much difference to start the project in 
qtcreator, since qtc has the previous opened projects saved.

Thanks
