Just to let you know, in case you are still interested: This is possible 
now for generic makefile projects, since commit 
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-
creator/commit/7c88b3e96c5cf660c227f1e228bdfe005f6cf8a5
(by using the placeholder for basename of the currently open file in the
make step).

Since I don't really have any qmake/cmake based projects where I could
test or use this functionality, I haven't touched them yet. But since
the framework for that has been put into a globally available class,
namely VariableManager, it should be fairly easy to add this functionality
also to qmake/cmake projects.
