Belive me, adding all lib sources to your repo can't guarantee
successful build on every OS. Even with QT.
So it's realy bad idea. (I try it ~3 month ago)

As alternative you can use *git **submodule*. You can also write some
scripts to build dependences and install it to correct (local) places.

Scott, what did you mean by setting up includes for *all* the source dirs?

you can += all src subfolders to INCLUDEPATH in .pro or .pri
