[Kde-bindings] Marshalling bug (Perl and Ruby bindings)

Hi,
while investigating on some strange behaviour that showed up with Qt-3.2 but
only with the bindings (both PerlQt and QtRuby), I realized the marshaller
was passing const refs of objects straight to the Perl variables.
One was then very likely to mess Qt's internals by modifying those directly.
e.g: in the progress example (AnimatedThingy class)
$pn= $p->pen; # $pn is the original const object!
$pn->setWidth(2); # hosing QShared
$p->setPen($pn); # won't work. Hence the missing colors/width in
# the "wasting cpu with this animation" dialog
I corrected PerlQt's handlers.cpp to construct a copy for those (and fixed
some wrong logic in construct_copy as well). QtRuby would probably
need a similar fix.
