Exactly! We use a make(1) target to generate the .includes and .files  (and 
even the .creator and .config)

I wondered if the output of `make -p` could be parsed gainfully. But I didn't 
actually work on this (as our "make target" solution satisfied us sufficiently 
and it can even be inserted in qtcreator's build process).
