Don't forget the cmake files in lib/cmake/qt5 too.

Also remember that a generic Qt build does not have to install each module 
inside the same prefix. They can be anywhere. Relative paths might not be 
enough.

Also remember that the qmake code dealing with relative paths is broken. 
That's why you can only do out-of-source builds from outside the source, not 
in a subdir of it.
