If you just want to set a custom scope for your personal project then 
that can be done via `scopeAttributes` from `.tm_properties`.

For example for TextMate’s `.tm_properties` file I have the following:

	[ tests/t_*.{cc,mm} ]
	scopeAttributes = 'attr.test.cxxtest'
	TM_NINJA_TARGET = '${TM_FILEPATH/^.*?([^\/]*)\/tests\/.*$/$1\/test/}'

This a) sets test files to include the `attr.test.cxxtest` scope (which 
all the snippets in the CxxTest bundle are scoped to) and b) changes the 
default build target to just run the test (the `TM_NINJA_TARGET` 
environment variable).

If however you want to identify a certain type of project then currently 
we don’t mind adding that to the core TextMate source (assuming the 
kind of project is one used by others than you), but long-term this info 
should be moved to bundles, as this will also allow us to suggest a 
bundle when TM sees that the user is opening a project that is 
recognized as “special” by a certain bundle.
