This idea came up while thinking about a Windows port.
I would not say it's impossible, but we would need many many days to make the 
port.
We gave up the idea because we had not the money for this (the free windows 
version wasn't up at this time and Mac wasn't out, too).
But I'd vote against it, our target plattform is Unix. But we should port to 
BSD etc.

If KDE 2.x gets ported, we're fine with it, too. This would be cool!
If it gets not ported we're fine, too.
