Okay. I see that OOS builds can create Makefiles without clobbering
my existing Makefile, but then I do not have convenient access to my Makefiles
and the convenience targets they contain from the OOS dir.

I still think Qt/qmake was right in providing the ability to change
the name of the Makefile. Before I discovered that, I could not use
the qmake system.

Below is typical of what my Makefile contains:
Convenience targets (all in one place) and a call to the makefile
created by qmake (myapp.make). In this way qmake does not have to solve
the whole problem, just contribute a part of the solution.

Thanks.
