Thanks for helping out.

I tried both you method and the one based on QtRuby, and both basically got
me to the same place.

With both methods, I noticed that I needed to copy over the
HandleImportedTargetsInCMakeRequiredLibraries.cmake file from kdebindings in
addition to what I had already copied. I also had to fix up David's patch a
bit because it didn't apply cleanly to SVN HEAD.

After that, running cmake produced the following error:

CMake Error at smoke/qt/QtGuess.txt:134 (list):
  list sub-command REMOVE_ITEM requires two or more arguments.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  smoke/qt/CMakeLists.txt:13 (include)

Naively hoping that this error was not important, I commented out the
offending line and proceeded anyway. The configuration completed
successfully, but upon attempting to generate the smoke bindings I got the
following error:

[ 28%] Generating smokedata.cpp, x_1.cpp, x_2.cpp, x_3.cpp, x_4.cpp,
x_5.cpp, x_6.cpp, x_7.cpp, x_8.cpp, x_9.cpp, x_10.cpp, x_11.cpp, x_12.cpp,

make[2]: *** [smoke/qt/smokedata.cpp] Error 57
make[1]: *** [smoke/qt/CMakeFiles/smokeqt.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

And the following text appeared in a pop window:

generator.exe - Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry point
_Z11qt_assert_xPKcS0_S0_i could not be locate in the dynamic link library
QtCore4.dll.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that.

Thanks again for all the help.
