[Kde-bindings] Constructor error with QtRuby redux

[Caleb Tennis]

Here's the issue.  In Ruby 1.8.4, there's a new "rb_obj_respond_to", with
this syntax:

rb_obj_respond_to(VALUE obj, ID id, int priv);

Where 'priv' represents whether to search private methods or not.

rb_respond_to now looks like this:

int
rb_respond_to(VALUE obj, ID id)
{
    return rb_obj_respond_to(obj, id, Qfalse);
}


Thus, objects don't directly "respond" to "initialize" anymore, since it's
a private method.  So, we need to use rb_obj_respond_to in place, and use
a Qtrue to tell it to search private methods.

Problem is, this is only valid > 1.8.3, as far as I can see.  So we'll
need some trickery to make sure it compiles properly.
