Although this is not really my call, here my thoughts:

While I share some of the concerns that this is a very specialist tool
of little use in general, but considering the importance of Qt, the
strong coupling between KDE and CMake and finally the possibility of
CMake becoming the QMake replacement, I think this makes a strong case
for an exception here.

So, +1 from me.
