I do notice that the Qt Visual Studio add-in doesn't function completely 
when using CMake based projects.
But, I don't know why.  I did a <file><new><Qt application> and creating 
a basic project, and looked at the generated files and didn't find 
anything that looked like it would help the add-in function properly.  
There isn't a qmake .pro file either.

You might get a better answer on the qt-interest list, as some people 
there might understand the add-in's dependencies.
Or submit a bug to Trolltech, as it kind of looks like one to me.
