I hope I understand your question correctly. By removing moc and not
using qmake, we were able to remove all the bootstrap code from
CsCore. This allowed us to build rcc simply linking with CsCore.

We did not see any reason to replace rcc at this time. Our goal was to
allow developers to use CopperSpice without altering their build systems.
Since the resource system is not mandatory we did not feel like an
alternative to rcc was required.
