Don't. That breaks the build. Qt snapshot tarballs contain both.

The setup is correct:

phonon/lowercasename.h
Phonon/UpperCaseName

I spent a lot of time trying to find the proper fix for this problem that 
we created by shipping a lowercase 'p' in Qt 4.4.0. On systems where the 
filesystem is case-insensitive, the two directories are one and the same. 
This works for syncqt (the Perl script that creates them), as well as zips 
and tarballs.

So this solution works just fine -- as long as SVN isn't involved. We did 
not take SVN into account when creating the solution. (SVN wants to create 
a subdir .svn in each subdir and that's the problem; Git doesn't do that, 
so it works)

Can you please just not check out the 'include' dir, completely?

Or, better yet, people should start using the Git repository of the Qt 
snapshot. We'll soon have an open repository with Git and learning it 
would be ideal.
