I fully agree that for some projects it would make sense for the project 
tree to display the files in the same organisation as on the filesystem.

Recently, we've added a generic project manager in order to support 
alternative build systems. This project manager actually does exactly 
that. Maybe you can give it a try (it's available in the nightly 
snapshots). Just go to File -> New -> Existing Project. It uses several 
files that allow you to give Qt Creator the information it needs to 
perform its code assistance.

(I've documented this generic project manager for use with a hobby 
project of mine at 
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Developing_with_Qt_Creator)

We can consider adding the same kind of visualization option to the Qt4 
project tree.

In the nightlies it already does that, though it's currently not optional.
