[lazarus] qt status?

[Andrew Johnson]

alright. that sounds good. I will go look into that, and if moc _does_
produces cohesive enough ones, such that we don't need to actually
include any of the actual translations and upkeep them ourselves, it
might make usage easier anyway, since we could just require moc and have
a script to compile things properly and link resulting c objects and
pascal objects and stuff, perhaps in a lazarus package like the gtk2
one. And if not.. well we shall see. :)
