This can be a lengthy process, you mean?  The good news is that it only needs to be run after each run of qmake.  If qmake doesn't do anything or need to be run, this can be skipped, because the Makefile (in a typical Qt project) didn't change.  (Or you could just cache the last modified date of the Makefile.)
