qmake is not nearly as powerful as CMake is (especially if third-party
dependencies are involved) and, in fact, is so broken in so many aspects
not even the qmake developers dare to change anything. Search the archives
of the Qt Interest mailing list for "qmake buddenhagen" :-)
Digia is now implementing a new build tool called qbs which is more or less
like CMake but using JSON-based build files. It's not there yet, maybe in
the future it'll be an alternative.

That would mimic what I'm doing in the Debian packages, which IMHO is good.
CPack supports creating separate components for installation for NSIS
installers:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack
I don't know whether the WiX CPack backend supports that.

I'm all for it but that'd mean Emweb have to dedicate resources to making
the latest release available in the PPA in a reasonable amount of time
(hours to days, tops).
Currently, since it's not paid work, I do that in my spare time, usually
soon after a new version of Wt is released, but sometimes a couple of weeks
may go by. Also, my packages abide by all the Debian packaging guidelines
(which takes some time, mostly due to testing: building takes time and my
laptop is not exactly last generation); most upstreams just want to get the
job done quickly, which usually means some rule is not respected and
something may be broken from time to time.
Anyway, count on me for help with an official repository, if that's ever
considered.
