This is how camerademo does it, obviously only meant to be used on Windows:

simulator {
     CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\\qml)
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\\qml\\symbian)
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\\qml\\images)
         system(copy .\\qml\\symbian\\* 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\\qml\\symbian)
         system(copy .\\qml\\images\\* 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\\qml\\images)
     }
     else {
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release\\qml)
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release\\qml\\symbian)
         system(mkdir 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release\\qml\\images)
         system(copy .\\qml\\symbian\\* 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release\\qml\\symbian)
         system(copy .\\qml\\images\\* 
..\\camerademo-build-simulator-Simulator_Qt_for_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release\\qml\\images)
     }
}


Hope this helps,
