This would work but the defines are compile time options which is why
they are not in a header, I we could use a config.h method to setup
defines but at the moment we don't and its a big enough project that
its not simple to make changes like this.

The issue is, when you add defines in the *.config file they are
defined everywhere as far as qtcreator is concerned, but when being
built they are not.
