Correct, building the QtScript Generator is a way much better idea. :)

Just curious, which distro's have been done so far?

I know Rex Dieter created one for Fedora
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489550) and that you did one
for openSUSE (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483148).

Also, is this being advertised outside the mailinglist, btw? Perhaps it
would be a good idea to dedicate a WIKI article to this? (I'd create one
but I'm waiting for new WIKI login-details to arrive.) :)
