Can you create a file which includes all created files and compile only that 
one ? This might make it easier.

The principal problem (similar to automoc) is that you have a set of source 
files and additionally you want to detect at buildtime (i.e. during the 
build, while the makefiles are processed or while the project file is loaded) 
that more files have to be processed (here: compiled, automoc: moc'ed).
This cannot really work since the file which describes the build is currently 
being processed and would have to be changed while being processed and these 
changes would have to become active during the same build.
