This patch adds the additional automoc target for every target.
KDE developers will complain that it got slower.
Can we have two versions of the macro, one with the extra target and one 
without ?
The one with the extra target could be the one recommended for general use 
outside of KDE. Inside KDE (i.e. KDE4Macros.cmake) the one without the extra 
target could be used, except in the case where this doesn't work (nmake ?). 
It should be possible to hide this in the KDE4_ADD_SOMETHING() macros.
What do you think ? Too much trouble for the speed gain ?


Another issue:
I think we should make kdesupport automoc mandatory ASAP. I won't be online a 
lot next week. So if you feel like it is ready, can you please do that next 
monday and remoev the old automoc from kdelibs at the same time ?
