Does QCA really do all this?

decryptjob.h:  class DecryptJob : public Job {
decryptverifyjob.h:  class DecryptVerifyJob : public Job {
deletejob.h:  class DeleteJob : public Job {
downloadjob.h:  class DownloadJob : public Job {
encryptjob.h:  class EncryptJob : public Job {
exportjob.h:  class ExportJob : public Job {
hierarchicalkeylistjob.h:  class KeyListJob;
hierarchicalkeylistjob.h:  class KLEO_EXPORT HierarchicalKeyListJob : public KeyListJob {
importjob.h:  class ImportJob : public Job {
job.h:  class Job : public QObject {
keygenerationjob.h:  class KeyGenerationJob : public Job {
keylistjob.h:  class KeyListJob : public Job {
