Whether or not this is a good idea is not really on trial here, although
I'd certainly hate to have the 200 Qt include files cluttering
/usr/include or some such directory. The fact is that various file system
standards, including FHS and GNU (and apparently FreeBSD) request
(require) such behaviour.

As long as we install semi-internal files such as config.h we better put
them in a non-shared location. The current state is broken in my mind.
