[qmtest] Integrating with QMTest

[Alok Nagdev]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for a very prompt reply. I did indeed look into customizing
section of the QMTest tutorial and seems like I didn't really pay much
attention. With your description and having re-read the tutorial on
CompilationTestDatabase I think it should be fairly straightforward to
incorporate it.

Thanks much once again!
Alok
