Qt's path is having separate compiler "moc" to generate the extra stuffs
needed for signal/slot implementation. This has advantage of making it
more portable to compilers which does not support newest C++ features, but
I'm not too fond of having one more extra stage at compilation just because
of signal/slot system -- and templates are available everywhere now.
The sigslot -implementation in our page has been made to implement Qt's
signal/slot mechanism fully with C++'s features.

Its ok.
I like Qt too because of its quite clean signal/slot implementation --
but I'm hoping we can get it even better than what trolltech's folks
have been doing.
