Yes, that's right. We needed to remove the directory from the names in 
the 'header_list' file in order to get the bindings code generation working 
with Mac OS X frameworks. But I think it will introduce other problems and we 
need to rethink how we handle frameworks.

I want to use <phonon/foo.h> - which is what the generated code already has. I 
think the phonon header names are unique within KDE - it's ones 
like 'document.h' that will give us problems.

OK, I've been following the recent discussion on k-c-d about where the best 
phonon is. The bindings code generation should work with both the KDE and Qt 
versions as long as the KDE headers that I've used in 
the 'phonon_header_list' are the same or are a superset of the Qt ones, and 
as long as the KDE classes in the 'classlist' file are the same or are a 
superset of the Qt ones. Then it uses ${QT_PHONON_LIBRARY} from the cmake 
build system to link against which I assume is set to either the KDE phonon 
or Qt version depending on which is installed.
