    Description

      The intention is not to advertise it as fool-proof solution for converting qmake user projects to CMake, but rather as a helper that can hopefully handle 60-80% of usual conversion boilerplate.

      Off the top of my head some implementation things to consider:

      And some product things to consider:

      • do we want to ship it in some form, or just tell people to git clone qtbase to get the script (it's not one file, there are helpers)
      • is a blog post enough, or do we want some documentation on the wiki or docs.qt.io
      • what parts should be documented? most options were for qt internal usage, some features i would not document or maybe even disable, like the special case preservation mechanism
