I just rechecked and guess my previous statement was erroneous. Checking my 
CMakeCache.txt files FindQCA2.cmake seems to set QCA2_INCLUDE_DIR to the 
QtCrypto subdirectory, so it seems #include <QtCrypto/*> is wrong. Sorry for 
that.

The right way to use qca would therefore be adding QCA2_INCLUDE_DIR to the 
include directories and using:
#include <QtCrypto>
(see the first comment in qca.h)
