[Qt-creator] Alternate Build System Support

I created a firestorm last time I asked/inferred but I am very curious 
if QtCreator will _eventually_ support alternate build systems (Mainly 
just calling a predefined Makefile) or is that going to be left to a 
3rd party to develop.

 What I have seen from QtCreator and the little bit that I experimented 
with it lately I am already "hooked" on it as it is faster than Eclipse 
CDT and probably less of a memory hog than Eclipse but all my current 
projects use another build system and converting them to qmake is not 
possible at the current time (Maybe later.. don't know).

 So I ask with the deepest respect possible and not wanting to start a 
flame war: what is the possibility of QtCreator supporting a "Plain 
Makefile" project? I have yet to think through how I would support that 
on Windows though.

Thanks
Mike Jackson
