So qmake does it if you specify your build in their format, but provides no API
to get the information otherwise?  (FYI, I've never done any Qt development.)

This sounds like another great candidate for an issue tracker feature request
if there isn't one already.

BTW, I've committed a fix to CMake to make file(REMOVE) and file(APPEND)
treat relative paths the same way, and scheduled it for 2.6.4.
