For fedora, where the "staging-dir" is not allowed to be disclosed
during the "compile" step, only during the install step, I tried to do
this in a slightly different order:

# Compile step
$ cd /tmp/kst-build
$ export OUTPUT_DIR=$PWD                     # build dir
$ export KST_DEBUG_MODE=0                    # non-debug build
$ qmake -r /tmp/kst-source/kst/kst-2.0.0-beta3-2/kst.pro
$ make
# Install step
$ export INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/kst-package/usr # staging-dir/prefix-dir
$ export INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib                  # libdir under prefix
$ make install

Which doesn't work as expected; it ignores the staging dir as given in
the INSTALL_PREFIX.  It would be best (from Fedora's point of view) if
"make install" would respect such environment variables even if they
weren't set before build time.  I even tried re-running qmake before the
"make install" step (thinking that I could just have new Makefiles to do
the install on) but this did not work.
