Patch to the CMakeList files removing the external dependency on automoc

Today I was trying to compile qt-gstreamer from git, and, since I have also
built my own version of Qt (4.8.0), I was very reluctant to have to install
automoc (and thus Qt libraries) again...

Then I browsed the interwebs a bit, and found out that, from CMake 2.8.6
onwards, there is an EMBEDDED automoc feature, so that we don't need to depend
on an external automoc executable anymore.

I quickly patched all lines in all CMakeList's that involved automoc4_add_* to
add_* and proceeded to build qt-gstreamer.

It was built with no errors, the test suite ran fine and I could run my own
application using qt-gstreamer also without any problems...

I think it's reasonable to start requiring CMake 2.8.6 or greater, since it was
launched last October, and we have already CMake 2.8.7. Plus, the upcoming
Ubuntu (12.04 LTS) will already include CMake 2.8.6...

So, why not sending the patch upstream? :)

In the attachment you can find the patch, as given by the output of "git
format-patch -1". Enjoy :D
