Hi Francesco, (pls don't cut the whole context, it's difficult to know by SVN revision number, what was the original msg)

Maybe can be done to some extent, but I'm nearly sure this can never be a fully generic process. With most libs you need to understand the background logic which you can rarely deduct from plain headers. If you're through that, you need to map types, which even for the simpler cases would require a complete C preprocessor and language parser to work with all projects. You also need to know what to parse and what to ignore, otherwise you will end up struggling with rare exceptions, no one would ever need anyway. This horizon is so wide that I prefer to keep it QT specific. I even hope someone can take it from this stage (Pritpal I hope).
