Hi Masahiro

This commit (and the rest of the series) do wonders for the
readability of the Makefile - nice work.

Some nits below.

Nice way to access the variables generated earlier.

qconf.moc has a dependency on qconf-cfg so the first
dependency could be dropped here I think.

We will in this makefile only support qconf.h => qconf.moc

So it may be simpler to read the makefile if we in the above
uses explicit filenames.

quiet_cmd_intl = INTL @$
cmd_intl = $(Q)intltool-extract --type=gettext/glade --srcdir=$(srctree) $<

$(obj)/gconf.glade.h: $(obj)/gconf.glade
$(cmd,intl)

To make this step visible in normal build

I cannot remember the particulars, but I think we could use $(shell ...)
in the above. If it has any positive effect is doubtful.

The old code only checked ionly for Qt5Core / QtCore - so what you do here is
likely an extra improvement.
This change is not included in your changelog.
