We have custom libs to deploy along with our app and I just want to see 
them show up.  I'm trying with a couple of boost libs.

When I add to my .pro file:

linux-* {

      target.path = /home/someuser/myprogram
      INSTALLS += target


}

in Creator, I see the deploy step and when I run from creator, the app 
gets deployed there.  Adding files doesn't seem to work.
