Bug Description

Build 264 running qt 5.2.1
The SaucyBacon app in the store happens to use a command line

qmlscene -I modules/ app/saucybacon.qml

and the app fails to launch, the log reports

qmlscene: invalid option -- '-I'

running qmlscene on the command line on the phone also reports this.

Some additional data, while the actual cause is unknown:
1. The issue doesn't seem to affect x86, for reasons unknown
2. It also happens on image #237 (Qt 5.0.2), so it also didn't work before

It shouldn't prevent the actual launch of the app, unless of course the app depends on the additional include to work properly.

Ok let's keep this bug open about the -I issue in general, while saucy bacon problems do not seem to be related. It also started for me when installed on the new #266 image.

This seems to only affect the armhf build. Upstream and help both show -I as valid. It works properly on the desktop as well, but throws the warning on phablet:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ qmlscene -I
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene: invalid option -- 'I'

That said, it appears the additional path is used during imports and the error message is not correct.
