------------------------------+---------------------------
 Between Qt 5.1 and 5.2, the command line syntax for `moc` changed,
 breaking builds.
 Specifically, the `-f` command line argument works differently:
 previously, it was `-f<file>` where `<file>` could be omitted; in Qt 5.2,
 it's `-f <file>` – notice the additional space, and `<file>` is not
 optional any more.
 The moc invocation by the Qt5 module relied on the old behaviour as it
 passed `-f` without a filename. Furthermore, the moc input file was passed
 right after the `-f` argument. The same usage is now interpreted as the
 input file being the parameter to `-f`, and the input it expected on
 `stdin`. Since nothing is ever written into it, moc never finishes.
