I just added a button to list them all to the CMake Configuration dialog opened
by the kit options page.

There is nothing:-/

Qt Creator has one compiler per kit and assumes that to be a C++ compiler. Until
we change that there is just no information on additional C compilers (or
whatever other language you want to use). Without that information there is
nothing that can be added to kits automatically.
