Because in order for the system to compile at all, $QTDIR HAS to point 
at /usr/lib/qt4.  Otherwise the system will incorrectly find the Qt3 
versions of the Qt tools (qmake, etc.) and error out.  However, there is 
no link from /usr/lib/qt4/include to /usr/include, so the system can't 
find the headers.  The system, as I said before, is set up on the 
assumption that everything related to Qt is installed in one folder.  
This is normal if you download the source directly from Trolltech's 
website and compile it yourself, but not if you install it via package 
because of the FHS.  Hence my comment that this is catering to the 
Windows users (because they'd be in this situation 100% of the time, 
whereas Mac/Linux/Solaris/BSD users would not).
