There has been no discussion of qbs. Therefore, there is no decision on what 
ot use for Qt 6. It might be cmake or qmake.

But if we do use a tool that is not part of Qt's sources, it would be nice to 
use one that does support generating the headers. I don't find it likely to find 
a generator that will allow the powerful scanning that syncqt.pl does, unless 
like syncqt.pl it is actually a fully-featured language with an extensive 
library.

Like Scons (which I'd hate to use, but at this point it is a contender just as 
likely).

Or a cmake script or a Python routine in Scons.

Or left as-is.
