+'''A simple wrapper around ninja that enables Qt Creator to parse compile errors
+
+   This wrapper splits up ninja output in such a way that Qt Creator will be able
+   to extract compile errors from the output of this script.
+
+   Make sure that ninja is found in PATH and then override the make build step in
+   Qt Creator with this script to use it.
