Linking plug-ins to a static application

Line 15 in http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-labs/qbs.git/tree/src/lib/qtprofilesetup/templates/QtPlugin.qbs produces:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: parent
at <eval>() in C:\Users\user23486\AppData\Roaming\QtProject\qtcreator\qbs\1.6.0\profiles\qtc_Qt_5_7_0_c275ce67\modules\Qt\QtPlugin.qbs:15

Changing line 15 to:
+ product.moduleProperty(product.moduleName, "qtModuleName") + ".cpp"
fixed this error for me

Documentation for linking Plug-Ins to static applications needs to written.
