You will either have to list out the files you want to transform explicitly,
put them in a different folder, or find some other way to identify them. Once
identified, the same syntax would be used to describe the build command.

You can always provide a list of specific files:
configuration { "hello.c or goodbye.c" }
I'm open to suggestions for improvements there.
Support for "custom filtering functions" is a good idea, and worthy of a
feature request. Per your example, I think it should be written as:
configuration { qt.ismocableheader }
The function would get called back at bake time with a list of terms, and would
return true or false to apply the configuration block.

I mentioned on the wiki page that source files listed in the outputs should get
fed back into the build, and object files back into the link step. Did you mean
something else?
I am, of course, open to other suggestions.
