The upstream phonon installs phonon/abstractaudiooutput.h and 
Phonon/AbstractAudioOutput (actually KDE/Phonon/AbstractAudioOutput). Qt 
cannot do something different. Also upstream Phonon cannot change this anymore 
without breaking compat. It can do "more", like install all headers to both 
phonon and Phonon, though (or make symbolic link, yes).

On Windows (or generally any case-insensitive filesystem) you can install to 
whatever pHoNoN capitalization you like :-)

Sounds to me like the issue is "fixed" then...

BTW, the reason for the phonon dir is that it is needed for namespacing. Qt 
relies on the q prefix for that which is why there are no qtcore, qtgui dirs.
