[Development] QtSingleApplication in Qt proper?

[Jordi Pujol Foyo]

 From QtService.cpp :

"The QtService is a convenient template class that allows
     you to create a service for a particular application type.

     A Windows service or Unix daemon (a "service"), is a program that
     runs "in the background" independently of whether a user is logged
     in or not. A service is often set up to start when the machine
     boots up, and will typically run continuously as long as the
     machine is on.

     Services are usually non-interactive console applications. User
     interaction, if required, is usually implemented in a separate,
     normal GUI application that communicates with the service through
     an IPC channel. For simple communication,
     QtServiceController::sendCommand() and QtService::processCommand()
     may be used, possibly in combination with a shared settings file. For
     more complex, interactive communication, a custom IPC channel
     should be used, e.g. based on Qt's networking classes. (In certain
     circumstances, a service may provide a GUI itself, ref. the
     "interactive" example documentation)."

+1 from me to add this to QtCore
