Konqueror has a simpler approach, a file that includes the generated file
and adds the tests_export macro on top.

 #include "konquerorprivate_export.h"

/* Classes from the Konqueror application, which are exported only for unit tests */
#ifdef COMPILING_TESTS
# ifndef KONQ_TESTS_EXPORT
#  define KONQ_TESTS_EXPORT KONQUERORPRIVATE_EXPORT
# endif
#else /* not compiling tests */
# define KONQ_TESTS_EXPORT
#endif

See kde/applications/kde-baseapps/konqueror/src/konqprivate_export.h
branch frameworks.
