Will do so once the latest revisions are reviewed, thanks for the
quick turnaround.

Well, the interesting ones (for my use-case) from that page are
already available as far as I can see from BaseQtVersion, in
particular QT_INSTALL_HEADERS and QT_INSTALL_LIBS. If my understanding
is correct that should also work for a cross-compile project. So
that'll get me a big step forward for now.
