Because syncqt wasn't run by anyone else outside the Qt offices before the Git 
repository became open. The released packages already have include/ pre-
generated. It's only needed if you try to build Qt out of its source dir, but 
then configure takes care of running it.

The headers don't change in released versions. :-)

That tool is actually quite old.
