Seems the best documentation is the API doc of Troll Tech...
Qt uses a non-standard preprocessor called moc.  The Harmony developers already
wrote a replacement that works...

The latest Harmony snapshot is available at:

ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/web-mirrors/site/harmony.ruhr.de/ftp/pub/harmony/snapshots/source/harmony-latest.tar.gz

If I remember correctly, looking at Qt headers is OK, from the discussion in
this mailing list previously.   Looking at the API web pages of Troll Tech is OK,
too.  But that's only what I know and I cannot guarantee this is correct.

The Harmony web pages seem to have a list of Qt classes that are completed, incomplete
or non-existent in Harmony.

this page is at http://harmony.ruhr.de/class_status.html

The above is what I remember, and I was not a contributor to Harmony.
