  Technically i would like this to be done on the basis of namespace 
separation. So that to get a structure in the treeview like:

Graphics
- Sprite Renderer
- Text Renderer
Sound
- Sound Listener
- Sound Emitter
Behavior Trees
- Brain
- Character

you would have a hypothetical set of classes with their namespace structure 
like so:

GluonEngine::Graphics::SpriteRenderer
GluonEngine::Graphics::TextRenderer
GluonEngine::Sound::SoundListener
GluonEngine::Sound::SoundEmitter
SMARTS::BehaviorTrees::Brain
SMARTS::BehaviorTrees::Character

Note the following details:

* The first level of namespacing is removed - a technicality, but it allows us
  to make the namespace hierarchy cleaner than otherwise.
* The CamelCasing is used to separate words. This function will be needed in
  other places in Creator, so a general function for this will be needed.

  The list is on the wiki already, but yes, it would be good to get it filled 
out somewhat. http://www.gluon.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=TODO (the 
section ToDo - Gluon 2010.07 Alpha 1, the full link didn't fit in the email)
