[Qt-creator] Perforce nuances?

[Friedemann Kleint]

Hi Kendall,

the p4 plugin lives in src/plugins/perforce. It does not use the client 
libraries, since we consider calling the command line client to be more stable
and less of a maintenance burden.

This has to be done with care to prevent a dialog from popping up in 
unexpected situations. We will try to get our hands at such a repository 
and try to implement it for Qt Creator 1.3 (task 257848).

Oops, oversight ;-)

Yep, they are visible on all other platforms [Alt-P<XX>];-). We probably have 
to #ifdef them for Mac.

This is up for discussion, I guess.

You are welcome ;-)
