If you try the QMAKE_SUBSTITUTES way you need to:

- Add escaping (all “ --> \”)
- Can only use qmake variables that are available also in the .pro/.pri files (like TARGET and VERSION)
- Need to use the QMAKE_SUBSTITUTES way of referring to variables (how you’d refer to variables in the .pro/.pri files, i.e. $$TARGET)
