Hello

I just found than configure.py in sip/pyqt/pykde support this form $(FOO) to get FOO from environment but, according to qt docs ( http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qmake-manual-6.html ):
You can also assign the value of a current variable to another variable by prefixing $$ to the variable name. For example:
    MY_DEFINES = $$DEFINES

Now the MY_DEFINES variable contains what is in the DEFINES variable at this point in the project file. This is also equivalent to: MY_DEFINES = $${DEFINES}

The second notation allows you to adjoin the variable expansion to another value without separating by space. qmake will allow a variable to contain anything (including $(VALUE), which will be placed directly into the Makefile, and allow it to expand as appropriate, usually an environment variable). However, if you require an environment variable to be replaced immediately then you may use the $$() notation. For example:
    MY_DEFINES = $$(ENV_DEFINES)

This will set MY_DEFINES to the value of the evironment variable ENV_DEFINES as it parses the .pro file.
So, i suggest to apply this patch to configure
