That's sort of the approach eproject takes. You define a generic project
template and then it can apply the same rules to any instance of that
project. e.g:

;; QEMU
(define-project-type qemu
  (generic-git)
  (look-for "qemu-log.c")
  :c-style "qemu-c-style")

(add-hook 'qemu-project-file-visit-hook 'my-eproj-is-c)
(add-hook 'qemu-project-file-visit-hook 'whitespace-mode)
