How to add a qip file to project using Makefile

I like to have the project file untouched unless I make an active decision to add something, so I create the project file using make. The first instance of the project file is created by quartus_map...

I found out that I can create a qsf/project file by first creating an empty file followed by quartus_sh -t settings.tcl.

I use settings.tcl for pin assignments, but normally specified the source code to quartus_map.

The problem is that quartus_map will not read the qsf file before it has processed all the source files listed as argument to quartus_map, which will make it fail since it misses the qip file.

I'm running out of ideas...
