Something like this:
 -------------------- w.cpp ---------------------------------

#include <QObject>
#include "w.h"

class Z : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    Z() {};
};

W::W()
{
}

int main()
{
    W w;
    return 0;
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------ w.h --------------------------------
#include <QObject>

class W : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT;
public:
    W();
};

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So, as you see, both header and cpp have no moc includes
automoc4 test, see that aren't any includes, enter in the first situation 
( matchOfset < 0 ) and only test if there is Q_OBJECT on w.h or w_p.h, 
suddenly generating a moc_w.cpp
But since we have a Z class in the cpp with a Q_OBJECT, they should be moc'd 
as well, generating w.moc too. The revised last patch solve this case too 
already.
