I compiled against Qt4, I want to try it on Qt5 soon but there is 
another annoying issue I discovered when trying to update and 
compile all of the qtd exmples: All slot functions must now be 
declared public.. I'm guessing something changed in traits 
recently.

I'll keep trying, but I'm not sure how much further I can go with 
this, as i don't have a solid c++ or qt background.
