I'm in loose contact with Daniel, the cmake-in-QtCreator developer.
He was quite happy for now.
Maybe we can just add some tags to the CodeBlocks project file, so that 
QtCreator gets everything it needs. Ideally we should coordinate this with 
the CodeBlocks developers.
Do you remember what was missing ?
One thing which currently is not possible is to compile just a single file 
(which would be really nice...)
