    Description

      Do support adding files to the Qt resource system without going through qrc.

      Why?

      • qrc is problematic in that the build system has to query an external tool (rcc) to get the dependencies right, which in turn causes issues when building Qt itself.
      • Also IDE's etc have to learn about qrc.

      Proposal

      qt_add_as_resource(target [PREFIX prefix] [OPTIONS ...] file1 file2)

      Open questions:

      • How to handle 'big resources'?
