For these lines:

  set(Qt5Core_LIBRARY Qt5Core)
  set(Qt5Core_HEADER_DIR "${_qt5_install_prefix}/include" )
  set(Qt5Core_INCLUDE_DIRS "${Qt5Core_HEADER_DIR}" "${_qt5_install_prefix}/include/QtCore")
  set(Qt5Core_LIBRARY_DIR "${_qt5_install_prefix}/lib")

What is the purpose of each variable?  Usually singular names like
FOO_LIBRARY and FOO_INCLUDE_DIR are used in find_*() commands to
cache the results of specific searches.  The results reported from
a find or config module for use by the application use plural names
like FOO_LIBRARIES and FOO_INCLUDE_DIRS and FOO_LIBRARY_DIRS.
