Well, I'm not sure if this addresses specifically what you're after, but you
can place the TARGET value into a DEFINE, and that will get passed to your
build on the command line.  So, in your *.pro file, you would add this
somewhere after you have defined TARGET:

    DEFINES += TARGET=$$TARGET

If your TARGET is, say, "MyProject", then you'll have "-DTARGET=MyProject" (or
"TARGET=MyProject" listed in the PreprocessorDefinitions of your Visual Studio
project) when your code is built.
