Sure you can specify compiler flags for qmake! There is
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS<http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-variable-reference.html#qmake-cxxflags>et
al for that.

Configuring a file-specific flags is way more complex, the most simple
solution I found was using separate pro files with subdirs template.
