Hu, interesting. So it actually does define a scope. Thanks for being  
persistent. Interesting that it's not really documented, but actually  
I'm not surprised :).

Playing around with it though, I notice that both the 'debug' and  
'release' scopes are valid for me,
but no 'Debug' or 'Release' scope:

TEMPLATE=app
debug {
     warning("debug")
}
release {
     warning("release")
}
Debug {
     warning("Debug")
}
Release {
     warning("Release")
}

'debug' and 'release' are both defined in $QTDIR/mkspecs/default/ 
qmake.conf and $QTDIR/mkspecs/qconfig.pri (these two files are  
automatically included by qmake for your projects).

The CONFIG(debug, debug|release) "function" finds out which of 'debug'  
and 'release' appears *last* in the list of entries in CONFIG.
