there are two qwt packages involved: libqwt5 and qwt-devel

maybe one rule for /usr/include/qwt and then a symlink from  
/usr/include/qwt[0-9] -\> /usr/include/qwt ?

or maybe someone can also attempt to persuade the Qwt folks to adopt the  
package config infrastructure?

That’s pretty standard.

We already look in /usr/include/qwt, so if you symlinked there, yes  
that should work.

I’ve not had any contact with the developers and so I don’t know why  
they don’t use it. QT projects tend to have a different configuration  
and setup than what we’re used to, so perhaps they expect, and most of  
their users use, a different setup.
