As far as I can see, qmake can build either a static or a dynamic library, but 
not both at the same time. Adding just this installation target will install 
whatever liborigin2.a happens to be lieing around from the last time 
qmake;make was run with CONFIG+=staticlib enabled, which is not a good idea 
IMHO.

Instead of trying to work around the various shortcomings of qmake, I'd 
suggest resurrecting CMakeLists.txt from commit f19437 (with a suitably 
updated VERSION). This is also a much smaller dependency than Qt (assuming 
someone wants to use liborigin in a non-Qt context), and LabPlot2 / future 
SciDAVis will most likely be using CMake anyway.
