Bug 2955. Workaround for lack of atomic operations in GCCE standard libraries (fall back to default use of Mutex)

This tool greps through files for SIGNAL() or SLOT() macros and pipes the signals/slots
through QMetaObject::normalizedSignature().

Rationale: In connect statements, you'll get a micro-speed update when passing in normalized
signatures for signals and slots.

Run it without any arguments to see the command line parameters.

Typical usage on Qt:

# find all files with non-normalized signal/slot connections and p4 edit them
normalize $QTDIR/src | xargs p4 edit
# replace all non-normalized signal/slots
normalize --modify $QTDIR/src
# p4 diff to see that everything is OK then submit :)
p4 submit $QTDIR/src/...
