[Qt-creator] New terminal plugin for QtCreator

[Adam Treat]

I am on macosx lion. I have my own .profile I use with it. Maybe its changed since last you looked?

Btw, I started to write a terminal emulator based on qt awhile ago. From scratch. But its a lot of work and qtermwidget doesn't seem so bad to me. Rough edges yes...

Last time I used it, a lot of things would leave pixel dust,
especially characters that used the extreme rightmost column of pixels
in their character cell. Column alignment on bright text didn't match
the alignment on normal text. And the VT100 implementation was close
but not quite perfect so ncurses apps would occasionally mess up,
under circumstances I could never really isolate.

I tried fixing these issues myself but I was never able to come up
with a completely satisfactory solution so I never had any patches to
contribute.

The worst part is, it seems to be sensitive to the platform you're
running on and the font that's being used, so it probably works great
if you're on Linux/X11. I tried using it two separate times on
Linux/QWS (trying to put a dev console in an embedded application) and
MacOSX (trying to come up with a terminal better than the one Apple
ships).
