[QBS] How to use the generated files which don't exist yet

moc_*.cpp files are -- those do not appear in any "files" list either.

To be honest, I'm using the WiX module. So, I need to generate the "*.wxs"
file from the some template "*.wsx.in" (a CPP was just an example). :)

So, how I should to add the "wsx" tag for this purpose? Can you please
provide some code of your suggestion?
