Qt docs:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qmake-advanced-usage.html#variables
"To obtain the contents of an environment value at the time when the generated
Makefile is processed, use the $(...) operator:"

So could you test if it works with this in src.pro and DBUSDIR
(I prefer DBUSDIR because it's not so much to type and sounds like QTDIR)

DBUS_INSTALL_DIR=$(DBUSDIR)
