[Qt-creator] QT Creator autotools project plugin NOT in QT Creator 2.4.1 from source

[Pedro Silva Vicente]

> Did you forget to "cd" to the build directory?

I did just as described in the README

mkdir $BUILD_DIRECTORY
cd $BUILD_DIRECTORY
qmake $SOURCE_DIRECTORY/qtcreator.pro

this creates "Makefile" in $SOURCE_DIRECTORY and $BUILD_DIRECTORY is empty

so, I had to do 

cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY
make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)
make install INSTALL_ROOT=/<my absolute install path >

  Latest stable is 2.4 at the moment.

  It's deemed not a main use case for Qt Creator. We start to become pretty bulky and we'd like to keep startup snappy.

  Did you forget to "cd" to the build directory?
