http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/moc.html
seems to be "Meta object compiler", a Qt thing. The ebuild
x11-libs/qt seems to provide "/usr/bin/moc", haven't found automoc (as
an executable at least).

See above, http://doc.trolltech.com has tons of (professionally written
and maintained) documentation on Qt and everything around it.

wikipedia Qt/moc:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28toolkit%29#Meta_object_compiler

the famous autobook on autotools:
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/

as well as the links above is all I have found just now. Hope this
