+'s60theme' is a commandline tool which converts Carbide.ui themes into
+an intermediate binary format that can be read by the simulated
+QS60Style. So, for example Designer (standalone or in Carbide) will
+be able to display a realistic S60 Ui.
+
+The intermediate binary format consists of hashes of QPictures and
+QColors, streamed to a QByteArray and compressed. QS60Style could not load
+the Carbide.ui theme directly because SVG handling is unfortunately
+not part of QtGui, and would require a dependency on the QtSvg module.
+
+Also, 's60theme' uses QWebkit to parse the SVG graphics (inspired by
+Ariya's 'WebKit-based SVG rasterizer' labs post). QtSvg had some issues
+with the SVGs that come with Carbide.ui.
+
+Usage examples:
+> s60theme "com.nokia.tools.theme.s60.50_3.4.0.0\config\model" Default.blob
+  (Reads the default 's60.50' theme and saves it as 'Default.blob')
+
+> s60theme "Eclipse\Examples\Haze\Haze.tdf" Haze.blob
+  (Reads the Haze theme and saves it as 'Haze.blob')
+
+To use the blob in a Qt application, get an instance of a QS60Style and call
+  style->loadS60ThemeFromBlob("Theme.blob");
+
+The simulated QS60Style will, in its constructor by default, try to load a
+":/s60Stylethemes/Default.blob". If your application has that a resource with
+exactly that filename, it will be used by default.
+'Default.blob' is not included in the current Qt source package. But it can
+easily be created with 's60theme' and a fresh install of Carbide.ui
