I'm not sure this would be a good idea - there's always the border case of
using a caption equal to the classname, but still correct (e.g. Settings).
The script knows a few words (like Settings), but when seeing a new word,
will remove it (although with a warning). This might require manual intervention
so it's not suited for automation.

What's more, I'm working on support for different per-module qt-version 
requirement, which requires a checkout - can't be done at commit time.

The script is easy to use recursively, so I suspect that Albert Astals Cid,
Stephan Binner and myself will run it now and then.
