A "Session" is a random collection of projects a given developer is currently
working on, together with his personal bookmarks, breakpoints, etc.
i.e. all data that does not belong to the project and that's not needed
to actually build the project but that somehow needs to be stored for
convenience between different startups of Qt Creator.

A Qt Creator session is _not_ the equivalent of a Visual Studio "Solution",
which defines a set of projects that have to be build together, in a 
specific order etc.

The Qt Creator equivalent for a "solution" is a project of the "TEMPLATE 
= subdirs" kind (which, btw in contrast to "solutions" can be arbitrarily 
nested).
