I wonder if this even works. AFAIK it doesn't (hence the compiler-specific binary installers for Qt, for instance).

  No idea yet, I have no overview about which compilers support what, so far only tested with my local gnu compiler to have an test example how the respective values/macros need to be propagated :) Sounds promising then we could be able to leave complicated logic to cmake time
