I would buy that argument if postgresql and all of the other directories 
under /usr/include didn't work just fine. Either their packages add an 
entry where the compiler suddenly knows about them _or_ the directory 
tree under /usr/include is "walked."

To test this theory I did the following:
removed INCLUDEPATH from .pro file and saved
cd /usr/include
dir aa
sudo mkdir aa
sudo cp libusb-1.0/*.h aa

Now typing

#include <a

brings up the aa/ completion entry and libusb.h is found under it.

This is a manually entered directory. To further test I did the following

sudo mkdir a.a
sudo cp libusb-1.0/*.h a.a
dir
roland at roland-I5-HP-Compaq-8300-Elite-SFF-PC:/usr/include$ dir a.a
libusb.h

typing #include <a  still only brings up aa/ in the completion list. a.a 
is not found.

There appears to be a problem walking the directory tree when a 
directory name includes the "."
