See my other post for a rational of the managedObject pointer.

Well, we want to support all of the Qt methods and then use some macros to 
determine what is exposed for different platforms ie, the way real Qt does 
it.  The typedefs make this possible.  Maybe QApplication and the HANDLE 
typedef is a bad example, but many others exist where QtC could use typedefs 
to increase the coverage of the amount of methods exposed.

It builds and works.
