As Jörg said, we're considering the build directory to be opaque. I think
you'll find that attempting to synchronize the build directory
structure/filenames between two entirely different build systems will be
extremely difficult and error prone, and due to this it is not something we'll
actively try to work towards supporting (not to mention there's little
practical use).
I would suggest you pick a single build system for your project, or for you and
your colleague to simply each use your preferred one without worrying if the
directory structures are the same. In fact, Qt Creator can currently be built
using either qbs or qmake, and the build directory structure being different
hasn't been a problem to us. :)
