This seems to be a real problem of automake and is also related to the wildcard
discussion. In a normal makefile, one single rule would be enough to handle meta
files like the qt moc files, but in automake it is a pity to write a perl
script with 100's
of lines to edit the Makefile.in's just to give rules for generating each
single moc file
from it's corresponding h file. Maybe it would be useful to handle meta files
in
automake (i think this is already done for lex and yacc, maybe it is possible
to
handle meta files more generally).
