Running qmake -project from the directory will create a project file that includes all the .cpp and .h files in that directory. You could add a pre-compile step that calls qmake -project, then pass the generated file to a script that removes the first few lines. Here's a quick one-liner that could do the job :

qmake -project -o MyFiles.pro && sed '1,/^# Input/d' MyFiles.pro > MyFiles.pri && rm MyFiles.pro
