Note the following in the docs for Product.name: "The value of this 
property must be a simple JavaScript expression that does not depend on 
module properties or values that are non-local to this product."

The following works though:

Project {
     property string theName: FileInfo.fileName(path)
     Product {
         name: project.theName
         ...
     }
     Product {
         Depends { name: project.theName }
         ...
     }
}

Christian, do we want to claim this as supported?
