[Kde-bindings] Using smoke with ffi to C

[Luca Fascione]

Paulo,
I've done this before with Tcl, which has a C API.

The way you do it is that you do the language binding in C++, using your 
API in C, and Qt/Smoke parts in C++. The problem is that your target 
language needs object oriented support to be able to subclass the Qt 
objects...
