Well, we tried to keep things rather consistent, so maybe just a few rules are necessary.

Just keep in mind that a single framework can install multiple libs (e.g. kio installs 5 of them).

(and that there are two kinds of forwarding headers (namespaced and non-namespaced),
but if you only parse the real lowercase headers and not the forwarding headers then
this doesn't matter)

But with that in mind, it should be straightforward.
E.g. include/KF5/KIOWidgets/* maps to libKF5KIOWidgets.so
