Some packages (e.g. avogadro) using the BOOST_JOIN macro of boost 1.53 fails to build because of a bug in the Qt MOC compiler. Fedora appears to have a workaround [2]. Would it be possible for someone who knows QT to look at this?

Yes, this should be a working workaround. It basically disables parsing of the problematic boost headers by automoc by defining their include guards. I've already implemented this workaround in fatrat[1] and luxrender[2]. The only difference between how I used this workaround and how it's used in fedora is that I'm explicitly setting these parameters while compiling something using automoc, while the fedora makes them default for every automoc run (so they don't need to be set explicitly).
