I don't think you can do this. Instead of doing this, you can define 
this for the C++ code and set a context property.

viewer->rootContext()->setContextProperty("VERSION", VERSION_DEFINED);

I can see that running something on a source folder file could be 
useful. However, running a preprocessor over the QML files sounds like a 
bad idea to me. The old "when the only tool you have is a hammer, all 
problems are nails" come to mind :-)
