[QBS] Populate includes path to other products

[Dmitry Volosnykh]

Andrey, I would suggest you to extract your "project" to a separate .qbs
file. So that your top-level qbs looks like below:

import qbs

Project {
    references: [
        "app/app.qbs",
        "lib/lib.qbs"
    ]
}

Then in the app.qbs do:

Depends { name: "lib" }

Such setup works for me.

PS. Don't know if mixing references with direct Product declarations is
good to go... Documentation says nothing about it.
