You need to include qqml.h and you need to make your own class declarations available to the registration code.

+All the macros mentioned below are available from the \c qqml.h
+header. You need to add the following code to the files using them in order to
+make the macros available:

+\code

+Furthermore, your class declarations have to live in headers reachable via your
