I agree it's probably not how PREFIX is intended to be used. But after 
all the project doesnt seem to support cross-compile/install properly as 
you can see by the need to explicitly set INSTALL_ROOT to a different 
path for staging/target.

I had an earlier solution where I made a patch to the quazip .pro file, 
but I wasnt entirely sure if it's correct. So I figured with this 
solution I dont need to do any upstream work ;-), which I'm not 100% 
sure about.
