Bad design. It started off fairly clean but stuff got shoved in there
that really shouldn't have because it was an easy place to do it. A
fix is in progress to separate the true per-user stuff from the stuff
that's really part of the build rules but doesn't fit into a .pro
file.

Per machine. Portability is really only possible if you have the same
username, same toolchains, and same paths for everything relevant on
both machines. Don't consider this advice; consider this a warning.
