 Debian Sid (Again).

 Qmake version: 1.07a (Qt 3.3.5)

 SVN Revision 7517

 Passing in the PREFIX into mythplugins' configure script like so:

 {{{ ./configure --prefix="/usr/blah" }}}

 Does not make it's way into the .pro files, so QMake can't pick it up, and
 make install puts all the files in "/lib", rather than "/usr/blah/lib"

 To manually fix, you can run configure, then edit settings.pro to add a
 'PREFIX="/usr/blah"' line at the top. This then makes including
 mythconfig.mak (And all subsequent settings) work perfectly, instead of
 silently failing.

 Is there some way that QMake is supposed to magically know what the PREFIX
 value is, or is this an oversight in the configure system (Or is something
 else wrong here)?

 NB: Adding 'PREFIX="/usr/blah"' to config.pro does NOT work.
