- backporting two changes from qt3:

  - added QInterfacePtr template class to take over the tedious work
    of manual refcounting on interface objects
  - the QREFCOUNT macro no longer relies on the developer to declare
    (and initialize!) a refcnt variable but defines a qtrefcount class
    variable itself, that takes care of proper initialization
    (fixes various missing refcounter initializations found)

Harlekin suggested to commit :)
