Great, so no doco patch needed :)

Bearing in mind that I don't use moc, this is conjecture, but here are a
couple of ideas....

1) Create a suffix rule to run moc on every header regardless. If moc is
not significantly more expensive than grep (and doesn't give errors on
normal headers) this might be ok.

OR

2) Use a different extension for files that need moc'ing. Not likely to
be backwards compatible by the sounds of it.

Perhaps others on this list with more KDE/Qt experience than myself
might have ideas?
