And probably all go away if instead of installing anything we use 
QMetaObjectBuilder (assuming it's api stabilization). Yes it would have 
performance impact, but only on the templated version and only during 
initialization, qml is paying that price constantly without bigger complains. 
It would not require any build system changes. The only limitation I can think 
of right now is that in QObject<Foo>, Foo needs to be know to QMetaType 
system, which is not a big deal.
