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).
