Not supported, but mostly they work. We will also fix bugs in uses that 
reasonably could happen in main() while parsing the command-line and other 
set-up procedures before QCoreApplication gets created. 

Just be careful because some things will not work. For example, 
QString::fromLocal8Bit doesn't work before QCoreApplication.

static QObjects are not supported at all. Any application that has those will 
get rejected as a testcase on input for a Qt bug report.

The first QObject you should create is QCoreApplication.
