I still use Windows XP, no symbolic link :-(

Duplicating the files implies to keep them in sync when they are modified.

It is much less troublesome to disable the shadow building once QtCreator 
configured the project.

Saddly, QtCreator enforces shadow building when opening a new project. The 
developer must know/remember to disable it in the project configuration tab 
just after opening the new project.
