[Qt-interest] qmake does not support headers without a corresponding source file

Can you expand on that a little bit, what is a header only project?

My project is pretty standard Qt project with dozens of
xxx.h/xxxp.cpp/xxx.ui triplets. In one those .ui files (say A.ui)
I use mywidget. The uic compiles the A.ui to ui_A.h file which contains
'#include <mywidget.h>' correctly and automagically but no depency is
generated for for that include in the Makefile.
