[Qt-qml] QML Application Wrapper anyone?

[Gregory Schlomoff]

Someone asked this question a few weeks ago in this mailing list, and
some troll answered that there were plans to include this exact
functionality as a wizard in QtCreator.

I don't remember if he/she specified if it was going to be in the next
official release of QtCretator, though. (v2.1)
