It works fine. Nice to have tutorial 7 :-)

Is it possible to replace the staticMetaObject? I made a 'QMetaObject* 
dynamicMetaObject' member of the class and could access it, but it lost its 
values at runtime. It is wastage to rebuild the object in every call of 
metaObject(). Otherwise, I can add new slots at runtime.

It is easy to implement it with the help of indexOfSlot(int), 
indexOfSignals(int) methods, the array members of _a[] can be invoked into 
zend types.
