qmake exists() function

[roxton]

Hello! I have Qt 4.4.3 on Linux. And I've discover a strange thing. The following code in my .pro-file doesn't work right anymore:

exists ("/usr/include/aspell.h")
 { 
    message( "ASpell enabled" )
    LIBS += -laspell
    DEFINES += ASPELL_ENABLE
}

exists ("/usr/include/aspell.h")
 { 
    message( "ASpell enabled" )
    LIBS += -laspell
    DEFINES += ASPELL_ENABLE
}

As far I see, currently exists() returns true in ANY case - with aspell.h presented or not. The same thing for other files those I'm trying to check:

exists (subpop.h)
{ 
  message( "foo bar is here" )
}

exists (subpop.h)
{ 
  message( "foo bar is here" )
}

update: it works fine when the "{" is after the condition, i.e.:

exists("/usr/include/aspell.h") {

exists("/usr/include/aspell.h") {
