Works fine, in the cases I've tested it. Removing the need of
kbuildsycoca helps a lot, since now we can find stuff only by having
the correct environment variables (PATH, QT_* and XDG_*). Before, we
had to set the variables and then generate the database for those,
which was a big problem, as each run of kbuildsycoca would have a
different set of environment variables on development systems.
