+ When linking a library, \c qmake relies on the underlying platform to know
+ what other libraries this library links against. However, if linking
+ statically, \c qmake will not get this information unless we use the following
+ \c CONFIG options:
+
+ \table 95%
+ \header \o Option \o Description
+ \row \o create_prl \o This option enables \c qmake to track these
+ dependencies. When this option is enabled, \c qmake will create a file
+ ending in \c .prl which will save meta-information about the library
+ (see \l{LibDepend}{Library Dependencies} for more info).
+ \row \o link_prl \o When this is enabled, \c qmake will process all
+ libraries linked to by the application and find their meta-information
+ (see \l{LibDepend}{Library Dependencies} for more info).
+ \endtable
+
+ Please note that \c create_prl is required when \i {building} a static library,
+ while \c link_prl is required when \i {using} a static library.

On Windows (or if Qt is configured with \c{-debug_and_release}, adding the
\c build_all option to the \c CONFIG variable makes this rule the default
when building the project, and installation targets will be created for
