You only generate a struct or class if it isn't already part of the 
system. For instance, a QPoint will map to (ii), but there's no need to 
define QPoint at each header file.

In fact, since "defining the struct in each header" seems to be pointless, 
we just need the name of such type. And since the name is 
binding-dependent, we have chosen in Qt to use a com.trolltech.* 
annotation to hold it.

I see no need or point in sharing that annotation. I doubt any non-Qt 
program would be interested in calling their rectangle structures QRect.
