Sorry for the delay. Finally I found some time to look at this.

This is better, but it still breaks binary compatibility by introducing a new 
instance variable to the smoke class. If possible, please don't change 
anything in the smoke lib itself. If we install the argument names file in a 
standard location, like /usr/share/smoke/qtcore-args, then apps can look there 
by default and maybe have the possibility to override this on the command 
line.
But I really would like to keep the Smoke lib as it is, for now.
The next time we break BC in SMOKE, we should do it properly and introduce 
PImpl so we can add functionality as we like.
