maybe we should ask the trolls here - it looks quite easy to make qmake parse 
the .prl-files and print out QMAKE_PRL_LIBS.

My fault - it's to early in the morning ;)

A common path is hard to introduce - every user has to have access right to the 
common directory. Then it's maybe better to extend to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. 
But I doubt Qt 4.3 is doing that... If not, maybe cmake has to extend the 
pkg-config path (or parse the .pc - file directly).
I have to take a look on this on weekend.
