In QtRuby, bitBlt() looks like an instance method and the runtime would set up 
'this' correctly, but it would be ignored be the actual C++ call. So if we 
added to much checking, it might mess that up.

I think the munged method signature for QGlobalSpace operator should be 
'operator+#', not '+#' as that makes the runtime code less messy. Otherwise, 
you have to try both ways, and for both static and instance methods.

In kalyptusCxxToSmoke.pm, makeprotos() should look like this:

# Generate the prototypes for a method (one per arg with a default value)
sub makeprotos($$$) {
    my $classidx = shift;
    my $method = shift;
    my $protolist = shift;
    my $name = defined $method->{OriginalName} ? $method->{OriginalName} : 
$method->{astNodeName};
    iterproto($classidx, $method, $name, 0, $protolist);
}

So it uses the new OriginalName attribute with 'operator' in it.
