That is actually a good thing. Because after a new install of Qt the 
timestamps (and possibly the contents) of the headers and the libs have 
changed. If your build-system wouldn't get these changes in the dependencies, 
it would lead you into big trouble (for example if some symbols change or if 
some inline-functions get fixed for some bugs).

It would be a problem if your built binary wouldn't be able to run with a 
newer version of the Qt-libs. Because then it would mean that the new Qt 
release wasn't binary compatible...

Have fun,

Arnold
