Just a little addition which not only applies to vcs stuff: We should
avoid bools and use enums instead. I'm planning to look through lib and
qmake stuff next week or at the upcoming weekend and fix this.

Uhm, you sure? Until now it doesn't contain any extension interfaces, so
I guess its rather plugins/vcs/interfaces (and later have vcs/cvs and
vcs/svn with the 2 default implementations).

I think it should use the extensions interfaces to get a list of plugins
for vcs ext iface and then use their import method. So some
vcsintegrator class that encapsulates is not needed, we have extension
interfaces for that.
