... and in the Kit settings, too.

You can definitely have platform specific sections in the qmake files.
I am not sure whether you can export environment variables from there,
but you can definitely set qmake variables based on platform and use
those in you build system and export them to your compiler. We do that
in the creator build system.

You can not really check the .user* files into version control
systems. That is right.

You should not need to do that: Creator should keep your old .user files around.

Maybe setting the environment variables in the kit works for your use case?

At least for 4.0 that works, but I am not 100% sure that this was
implemented in 3.6 already.
