Correct, qmake does not preprocess, but it does try to guess what your 
dependencies are. This is not restricted to moc outputs: any #include found 
that match a source file is automatically removed from the list of targets to 
build too.

A more correct way to do this would be to use GCC's makefile dependencies 
output flags (-MM, etc.). But I guess no one wants to implement new features 
for qmake.
