A compiler does not need to support a certain makefile format, as
it is the job of "make" to call a compiler, not vice versa.

And at least many years ago, when I was forced to use MSVC for some
job, it was no problem at all to invoke the compiler executable from
just any make variant available (I used "nmake" and later GNU make
for that).

It scares me when I read "deep integration", because a GUI library
(and even a precompilation helper tool like "moc") and "make" implement
completely orthogonal things, which should not require any kind of
integration.

Invoking "moc" from a makefile should not be a problem.
