It certainly does handle that, as I do it all the time.

you need to add 'install_mkspecs' and 'install_qmake' to that as well so that 
your installation becomes:

'make sub-src-install_subtargets sub-tools-install_subtargets install_htmldoc 
install_mkspecs install_qmake'

grep 'install' Makefile from the toplevel qt-copy directory works quite well 
for finding those. :)
