Great stuff! Is this running with Mono on Windows or the Microsoft C# runtime?

We're already splitting off the QtWebKit and QtUiTools modules from the main 
part of Qyoto as the Qt libs for them are very large and they're not always 
used. Perhaps we should split off QtDBus and accessibility stuff too. 
Although I think whole modules are ok to split up but maybe conditional 
accessibility support would be better done with #if's in the sources.

If the changes will work on both Linux and Windows then it seems a good idea 
to put them in the main Qyoto sources at some point (when the recent 'modular 
smoke' changes have settled down).
