Right, but I think that having the include dir called simply "QtCore" is the 
better solution. The default includedir is $prefix/include, but distros already 
know to change that to $prefix/include/$packagename for large installations. Qt 
will be no exception here.

What I'm more worried about is that Ossi has done a lot of changes to the way 
syncqt works. It might be tied to the TARGET variable in the .pro file, which 
we'll need to change to add the "5" if we go for my proposal.
