During testing, the success of the conversion, I noticed a significant 
problem - Q_OBJECT is renamed to TQ_OBJECT. And consequently fails building 
MOC files - more precisely, they are not builded, and this leads to FTBFS.

It is either unwanted rename, or should be the same renaming done throughout 
whole GIT tree, including the admin module in order to properly work 
generating MOC files.

Tim, please, what is the correct way?

Thanks
