Signals and slots work, but only a small portion of the classes are wrapped, and all the auto-figure-out-what-features-your-qt-has is ripped out. So it would still require a lot of work to get them up to release quality, and I HATE perl, so I'm not going to work on them. But if there is interest i will send a tarball that could really get someone started. Btw, i have them building on windows too with only mingw, perl, and qt as dependancies. Matt
