[PyKDE] Passing a type through SIP

[James Lamanna]

Is there any way to make SIP include type definitions from a C++ header file?
This type is defined in a C++ header file, so when the real compiler
goes to work, it would compile fine.
(I've tested this by typedefing WindowID as unsigned long, and then
going back and changing all occurences in the generated C++ code back
to WindowID and it compiles fine)
