// if helper script exists where it's expected (or in the path?):
QProcess customDirHelper;
customDirHelper.start("kdevelop-propose-build-dir", QStringList() << sourceFolder.path());
if (customDirHelper.waitForFinished()) {
    QString customDir = customDirHelper.readAllStandardOutput();
    if (QDir(customDir).exists()) {
        return Path(customDir);
    }
}
// else do the usual stuff

That's hardly more complicated than the few lines I've proposed in the RR.
