Ship it!




Looks like I totally misunderstood this change. It only changes the default if the project's `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is the same as the prefix where Qt is installed, and in that case it does make sense to change the subpaths, since it won't put anything outside the given prefix. If Qt is in a different location (eg. self-built project in `~/local`, system Qt in `/usr`), nothing changes.

I was concerned because I have seen other projects always try to install stuff in eg. `/etc`, even if `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is somewhere in `$HOME`, because some system daemon expects its config there. But that's not the case here :)
