Well, the original bindings did not *need* the include, it was just 
convenient not to write 'Qt2::' everywhere.

I feel somehow like leaving Qt as much like it is in C++ is a good idea. 
For various reasons, probably mostly unreasonable ones. But at least 
this one seems sensible: There is a nice lisp function for (X)Emacs, 
which pops up a konqy window showing the Qt documentation of the class 
the cursor is on. This is quite nice, but it works only with the full Qt 
names, like 'QWidget'. Therefore, it would be nice to have a runtime 
option to leave the Q's there. On the other hand, this makes several 
scripts look unnecessarily different.

The original RubyQt had both a ruby script (ui2rb) and a hacked uic for 
this purpose, this sould really be reusable.
