The difference is that for QtCore/QFoo you only need <qt-prefix>/include in
the include paths, for the later you also need <qt-prefix>/include/QtCore
to be set. IIRC both qmake and FindQt4.cmake from cmake do this.

For apps you have full control, however libraries need to make sure they
also work if just the include-dir is given. You never know what buildsystem
someone uses with your library.
