So for there is no import procedure yet:-(

Even if there was: I doubt Creator will figure out which values were previously
set on the command line and which where generated by the build system on the
fly. I just do not see any way to get that information from cmake. So that
information will need to be supplied by the user somehow as part of the import.

A batch-input (similar to what we do for the environment variables) is
definitely on my Todo list:-)

Tobias
