Hi Germain

Ah - I see, I didn't realise there was a Qt-3.x/e version. I may have to go 
back and look at the PerlQt 2.0 code for inspiration with the pointers to 
functions stuff for the slots.

Yes, I've added a '--qte' option so it knows to expand Q_OBJECT differently 
and so on, eg:

$ perl kalyptus --qte --globspace -fsmoke -dtest test/*.h

I've just got the QtJava bindings working on Qt/E 2.3.4, so I thought it would 
be nice to do QtRuby (and PerlQt) versions too.
