[SailfishDevel] defining version number only once

[Luca Donaggio]

This is the way I solved #1:

a) in your .yaml add the lines:

QMakeOptions:
- VERSION=%{version}

b) in your .pro add the lines:

# App version
DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\"\\\"$${VERSION}\\\"\"

c) in your .c's main() function add the lines:

    QScopedPointer<QGuiApplication> app(SailfishApp::application(argc,
argv));

    app->setApplicationVersion(QString(APP_VERSION));

d) now your app's version is available in QML through

Qt.application.version
