I got quite far for Qt4 with 
https://github.com/alynch4047/smidgen and 
https://github.com/alynch4047/sqt . It's based on the sip 
bindings used for PyQt and for various reasons doesn't use 
externC++ etc (though that's easily changed) (I stuck to extern 
C). It handles virtual functions, namespaces etc.

I based it on PyQt4/sip because it means that a lot of work has 
already been done, and it's a Qt wrapping technology that I've 
had a lot of experience with and know that it works very well.

The code is well tested and I think isn't too far from covering 
most of Qt4. Only tested on Linux 64bit.

I stopped development due to lack of time and a concern that Qt4 
was on its way out and Android / iOS / Java / Web were the 
realistic future (somewhat unfortunately).
