And buildtools/lib/parsers as well, I guess? Because I can only see the
parser beeing used in buildtools/projectmanager/qmake and nowhere else.

Well, this means that qmake support is "hardcoded", which explains why
so much stuff doesn't work.

So I'm going to fork buildtools/qmake as qmake4 and I think I should get
a svn account before to do this in a separate branch inside SVN...
