qwtconfig.pri is for building Qwt - not for using it. It is not part of a Qwt installation ( obviously you are running against the build directory and didn't install qwt by make install). And to be honest: the whole thing is much too simple for copying mysterious project files.
All you need to add to your pro file is:
LIBS += /path/to/your/qwt-lib
INCLUDEPATH += /path/to/your/qwt-headers
If you are working with a DLL on Windows you also have to add:
DEFINES += QWT_DLL

The Qwt tarball also includes a qwt.prf file. When you have adjusted and installed it, it does the configurations lines above for you and you can simply write:
CONFIG += qwt
But I don't like the concept of prf files much, because they need to be reinstalled, whenever you update your Qt library.
