Thanks for the hint, it's definitely true for most of the code of 
Qt although there are still a few areas like QtCore/qtypetraits.h 
or Q_STATIC_ASSERT in non-C++11 mode that are tormenting Calypso 
(and helped fix bugs). But overall it seems like a much shorter 
list of errors compared to other libs, so there may be something 
to show soon :)

Actually it's not due to that directly but because there were a 
few Qt global functions and variables (e.g in QtCore/qnumeric.h) 
that some Qt classes depend upon and caused a large part of the C 
standard lib to be imported, which would fail because there are 
some variables and structs that share the same name.

It works properly now that symbols from the C standard lib are 
split across several modules (so no more name conflicts).
