Yes you can create separate .pri files which is exactly what I did.  
Then I found that Nokia had added header/source filters to the latest  
snapshots!!!

I'm not complaining (too much) as this is a better way of doing  
things. But grouping files by extension is not the same thing as  
having logical groupings.

But to clarify, logical file grouping is not the same thing as having  
project solutions. The .pro file format, being primarily a build  
system, has no concept of logical groups. To achieve this you must  
either use .pri files (workable and Creator supports it, if not for  
the redundant .pri file itself being the first item) or Nokia would  
have to introduce a feature to use the file system (not ideal!). Or a  
new qmake variable.
