A module or item, for which I can set the URL, which would be passed to 
the code as a compiler macro definition and cause a path to be created 
in the install folder, where the qmldir file and qml files would be 
copied to, a plugins.qmltypes file would be generated and the dll target 
would be copied to.

I don't know, whether qml files are supported in a dll resources while 
supplying meta information for Qt-Creator (like through the 
plugins.qmltypes file), but that would be the finishing touch.
