Im not sure what there is to be gained here.

CMake is a language - it executes, and poops out a project file.

As a qtcreator/cmake user Im happy for qtcreator not to be *smart*
about cmake, infact I'd prefer it be kept that way.

All qtcreator needs to do is load that project file correctly, which,
I should add - it currently does not do (it misses includes and
defines from CMake), IMHO this should be first priority to get
working.
