$ in a .qdocconf file uses environment variables. If the variable isn't 
set in the environment, it won't be found.

If you're creating the docs rule yourself, you can set the environment 
as part of the rule.

eg.
docs.commands="QT_INSTALL_DOCS=$$[QT_INSTALL_DOCS] qdoc3 my.qdocconf"

If the rule comes from qt (probably in a .prf under mkspecs/features) 
then that rule could be updated to set the environment variable but 
that's only likely to happen for variables that are generally useful for 
everything.
