Possibly qstring.h should be removed from the header list, but I see it has 
QCharRef in it. I wonder if that class is useful for bindings - it doesn't 
seem to be documented.

Yes, in QtRuby, Qyoto or PerlQt the native string type is always used and you 
can't create a QString. It used the be the same for QByteArrays, but I found 
that was more trouble than it was worth and you can currently create 
QByteArray instances.
