[Qt-interest] qmake - how to set object output dir

Hi all,
I am using qmake on the win32-g++ platform, with mingw.
I am wondering how to tell qmake to put the compiled object files in a 
directory structure similar to the one in the examples, i.e. 
tmp/obj/debug_shared and tmp/obj/release_shared. When I generate 
Makefiles from my .pro file, I see that qmake puts the object files in 
release/ and debug/ directories, and I would like to have dedicated 
'obj' directories, both for release and debug. Looking at the stock .pro 
files for the examples and demos, I don't find anything special which 
would instruct qmake to use tmp/obj/xxx dirs, it just works there. I 
have tried to set the OBJECTS_DIR variable, but then the object output 
path becomes the same for both release and debug.

Thanks in advance
Best regards
Alex
