Thanks Jing, Campbell and Christian, you helped me to get further.

I hard-coded in the source of QtCreator that it generates a deployment step
that does "make install" and this works as desired. It allows to select
targets, but somehow this still does not exactly what it is supposed to do.
Anyway, for now, the result is nice. I will share the modification via
gitorious, after cleaning up.

What remains to be done is to make a run configuration that uses the
installed executables.

Cheers, Theo.
