[Qt-creator] Class Browser

[roberto.raggi at nokia.com]

Hi Damien,

I'm sorry but at least for now Creator does not expose all the bits  
you need to implement an efficient class browser. Sure, you can easily  
fill a QTreeView with a visit of the global symbol tables but that  
will be slow and memory consuming. After 1.3 we will add to Creator a  
set of interfaces that can be used to extract (in an efficient way)  
the info you need from our C++ front-end.

ciao robe
