qmake uses an internal variable "QMAKE_CLEAN" to keep track of what 
needs to be deleted... just append to it in the .pro file, like so:

QMAKE_CLEAN	+= $(TARGET) $(QMAKE_TARGET)

(TARGET is the simple name of the target, QMAKE_TARGET is equivalent to 
$(DESTDIR)/$(TARGET), IIRC... I'm a little fuzzy on that, but you'll 
figure it out)

NB: ***Do Not*** ASSIGN to QMAKE_CLEAN, only *append* to it, otherwise 
the whole list of files to be cleaned will be cleared.
