      The qt-cmake-standalone-test script is called from a shadow-build dir already, e.g.:

      ❯ pwd
/Users/torarne/build/qt/6.x/tests/dialogs

      
❯ ../../qtbase/bin/qt-cmake-standalone-test ~/dev/qt/6.4/qtbase/tests/auto/widgets/dialogs/

      So there's no need to add an extra build dir.

      And we're filling the PWD with build related files as well, so it's not consistent:

      ❯ ls
CMakeCache.txt        CTestTestfile.cmake   Testing               build_dir             compile_commands.json
CMakeFiles            DartConfiguration.tcl build.ninja           cmake_install.cmake

      This is also not what would happen with an equivialent qmake invocation, or a plain cmake invocation.

      And the behavior of the Xcode generator compared to the ninja generator in this scenario is also not consistent.

      It would be preferable if the qt-cmake-standalone-test helper behaved similar to the other ways you would shadow-build.
