Same here except for Windows. I've been doing most of my Qt development
using Qt Creator + CMake. It doesn't have all the conveniences of Qt
Creator + QMake but it works well enough.

I added "msbuild" steps to the Windows buildslaves after the "cmake"
steps. The 32-bit build succeeds although I haven't tried running it.
The 64-bit build passes /MACHINE:X86 to the linker which then fails.

I'm not that happy about CMake's handling of x86/amd64 issues.  It should be able to emit a VS .sln that handles both types of builds, but I haven't yet looked into what's needed to make that work.
