Either I was missing something obvious, or qmake is really, really stupid. Yes, you can add a ton of macros on top of it to make it sane, but is that really what you want to do?

At least I've seen some qmake hackery doing that. You still need an extra .pro file for each target, though, at least as far as I know.)

In a directory with two projects, you can place two .pro files and use a 
SUBDIRS to include the two .pro files. Not a difficult hack :) SUBDIRS 
treat a directory and a .pro file entry pretty much the same way.
