There is no fixed list. qbs looks at all the .pri files in <qtbase build 
dir>/mkspecs/modules/ and gathers information about modules from there. 
Basically, for every qt_lib_*.pri file that does not have "no_link" in 
its config there must be a corresponding library and prl file, and from 
the prl file we gather additional information.
I must stress again that there is something seriously wrong with your Qt 
build if the prl files are empty (I have never seen such a thing), and 
other things beside qbs will also not work properly then. You should 
file a bug report for Qt and have this investigated.
