[Thiago Macieira]

SVN commit 552611 by thiago:

Introduce the new QtDBus type marshaller/demarshaller system, dubbed
"Pattern Buffer". This change is binary-incompatible, but
source-compatible. If you can't afford to rebuild everything, please
wait until the next kdelibs snapshot (which should happen tomorrow).

CCMAIL:kde-core-devel at kde.org

Highlights of "Pattern Buffer":
 - faster
 - smaller
 - simpler
 - more organised
 - restores 1:1 compatibility between D-BUS types and Qt/C++ types
 - avoids demarshalling complex types until we actually use them (in
   delivering a call or reply or signal)
 - supports STRUCT types decently, both Qt (Core)-provided ones and
   custom types. Newly supported types, out-of-the-box:
   . QPoint, QPointF
   . QSize, QSizeF
   . QRect, QRectF
   . QLine, QLineF
   . QDate, QTime, QDateTime
   Cannot support QtGui types (QIcon, QPixmap, etc.) because we don't
   link to QtGui. But adding support for individual types is trivial,
   on application-level.
 - supports demarshalling D-BUS arrays into QVectors too (except for
   QVector<QString> [QStringList] and QVector<uchar> [QByteArray]). 
   Same support for QQueue, QStack, std::list, std::vector, std::deque, etc.
 - supports demarshalling D-BUS dictionaries into QHash too. No
   support for STL associative containers.
 - supports marshalling from QVector, QHash, QQueue, QStack,
   std::list, std::vector, std::deque, etc.
