qmake's philosophy is "assume everything is there and just use it". It's meant 
mostly for using Qt itself, so you can be sure that all of it is present. If 
you use third-party libraries and they're not present, you'll get a 
compilation error somewhere.

cmake's philosophy is to check for the presence and just degrade functionality 
as needed. Unlike with qmake, a required third-party library being missing 
would be noted during the cmake step. How to install said third-party library 
and inform cmake where it is, is left as an exercise to the reader.
