As you, I haven't tried it yet. However, an approach similar to yours could 
work, but I don't think the precompiled header should be #included for real.

Reading the gcc manual, I see that the precompiled header could be included 
from the command line. Since Qt and KDE includes are guarded against multiple 
inclusion, a single include file could be used covering most of Qt and 
Kdelibs if the compiler supports it, otherwise everything would work as it 
does currently. No need to edit existing KDE files, just some more checks
in the autotools scripts.
