Code looks okay and should work. If you can reproduce the issue, please 
file a bug report and provide instructions how to trigger it. I have not 
observed problems with this feature. But note that older versions of qbs 
(I don't remember whether 1.1 was still affected) had trouble 
recognizing changes to qbs.install and qbs.installDir for incremental 
builds.

The .lib file has the tag "dynamiclibrary_export".
