Hi,

It would be really handy when I would be able to create groups of
device-configurations so I can apply a preprocessor block to the group, instead
of having to specify every single configuration.
For example, Nokia has its own FullCanvas that is supported across all Nokia
phones, it would be nice if I could create a FullCanvas for all Nokia
configurations and use Canvas for other devices. Now I have to specify every
configuration, one-by-one.

It works in 4.1 already. It is called Ability and you can assign abilities to
configurations in the project customizer. For example, if you assign ability
NOKIAUI to configurations Nokia and NokiaS60, then you can use:

/*#NOKIAUI#*/  
/*$NOKIAUI#*/  
in 4.1, resp. 

//#ifdef NOKIAUI
//#endif

in 4.2.
In addition, the IDE collects various strings and attributes from SDKs and
offers them as abilities. Also those abilities can have values.
