Review use of Qt module header includes
Having come across sources using include statements for some Qt module headers (like
#include <QtDBus>), memories arose about a check from the static analyzer tool krazy as once run conveniently on KDE's former ebn.kde.org site. That check, called includes, poked one not to use Qt module headers.
