 Did you use git for that or did you download a tarball?

 You can find two examples of QObject conversion in the following
commits: 588b383, d96fd29. But note that the difficulty of the
conversion can vary. Some are just error handling, like 81a1b45.

 The problem with the current QObject API is that conversions can
get complex, like do_pci_info(). We'd like to find ways to it
simpler, if possible.
