hmm, that could work. Never thought about using the destructor.
On the other hand, i would get into trouble when the object isn't only
in the cache but also in other places. Then a destruction signal might
not necessarily mean that it's removed from the cache.

Is there now "QLru" made in recent years? I mean, i can imagine the
need for an LRU to be quite high in some Qt areas so i'm quite
surprised that there doesn't seem to be any of it. Embedded comes to
mind.
