I found it easier to look at an existing project. Maybe it's time for
some more documentation about this.

This looks like moc should have been used to process a header file, but
wasn't. It's not easy to say how you can fix this without knowing more
about WebKitQt's build process and the one for your own wrappers.
Does WebKit come with test and examples that you can use to check that
it actually works as expected?

I know you included a link to the WebKit Wiki, but I don't have the time
to build it myself.

If you put your code somewhere, the people on this list who are both
interested in WebKit and SIP experts can take a look at it.
