Question on packaging Necessitas.

[/#!/JoePea]

Yeah, I already understand that the Necessitas installer compiles Qt
Creatorfor me.

But I already have mainline Qt Creator installed on my system from the Arch
Linux repositories. Instead of compiling Qt Creator to ~/necessitas using
the Necessitas Installer, I would rather just add Necessitas to my existing
Qt Creator.

Is this possible? So my real question is: How do I just add Necessitas to
my already-installed Qt Creator?
