Oh yeah. qmake might be what Qt4 uses today. What Qt 5 will use, we'll see -- 
it might be qmake, it might be cmake, it could also be something else. We'll 
see.

But that doesn't mean anything about third-party apps and libs. They can use 
what's more comfortable for them. And it's really important to have support in 
CMake and maybe a few other buildsystems too. It's clear that qmake doesn't 
support all use-cases, so having options for those other cases is good.
