[Qt-interest] which build tools to use?

[Hong Jiang]

We (a small team) use CMake. CMake doesn't have the prettiest syntax
but works very well. I wrote a Ruby script to scan the C++ source and
generate CMake rules, but it's somewhat specific to our setup. I might
be able to clean it up and make it generally useful when I have more
time.
