Subject: [PATCH] Bug 422797 - API for retrieving QMake information from Qt
 project

API is located at org.eclipse.cdt.qt.core.index package.
Entry point is QMakeProjectInfoFactory.getForActiveConfigurationIn method
that provides ability to retrieve QMake information (IQMakeInfo interface)
for active project configuration of a specified project.
Also allows to listen on changes of such information.

qmakeEnvProvider extensions allows CDT build-system to provide environment
for QMake runs within their build-system.

Information is gather by parsing output of:
1) qmake -query
2) qmake -E file.pro // only for QMake version 3.0
