Hmm, not sure how this should look like. qmake "just" generates the makefiles 
with the dependencies, it doesn't really call moc.
This is what automoc does, it parses the source files and executes moc.
AFAIK Kitware would be happy to have that functionality in cmake.

Yes, I saw that (and it still doesn't help me).
Please make one source dir where UseQt4.cmake is used, and run cmake on that 
source dir, and send me the resulting build dir (including CMakeCache.txt and 
the CMakeFiles/ subdir).

And for comparison, please do the same without using UseQt4.cmake, run cmake, 
and send me the resulting build tree (which will not build successfully).
