Krazy Check for Missing toolTips and whatsThis

Sorry for the delayed response; I was out of the country for a few weeks.

Since no one has objected, can we remove the check for QLabels?

Even if tooltips and whatthis help are required for QLabels, it should
probably be the same text as the control widget they're labeling. If
that were the case, we should come up with some (semi-) automatic way
to copy the tooltip and whatsthis from the buddy to the label, instead
of just duplicating the string in the code.

It seems we'll have to split the cheque. It seems (in my application,
at least) that the whatthis text IS pulled from the kcfg file, but the
tooltip IS NOT. I knew it worked for the whatsthis and assumed it
would work for the tooltips. If the whatthis text is set in both the
code and the kcfg file, the code overrides the kcfg.

I have no idea what the intended behaviour is though. It seems a bit
silly to have to duplicate this information in both the code/UI and
the kcfg file. Do any of the KConfig guys have any input?
