[Qt-creator] SUBDIRS template with common libraries used in multiple projects

[André Hartmann]

Hi Markus,

I must admit I'm no expert when it comes to subdirs projects.

I understand.

There have been (multiple) discussions on the mailing list regarding the 
sharing of build settings.

IMHO, the crux is to have exactly the same Kits on all developing 
computers. This should be achivable by using sdktool.

But that would, unlike you want, place the build files within the source 
folders.

If you get one step further, I'd like to know. I'm also interested in 
such setups.

Best regards,
André
