You cannot use KDirWatch to watch all files or includes of a project, at
least you cannot expect that to work on all systems. The reason is that
the underlying notification systems usually have limits as to how many
files can be watched at the same time.

And seeing that KDirWatch is buggy and not threadsafe (see the various
bugreports we have for cmake) I don't think its a useful solution at
all.

Apart from that I didn't have that problem yet at all here, when I
changed something in the .ui file the generated header was reparsed at
the latest when I started to type into the .cpp that used the header.
