Thanks again for your help in these areas. I guess things will get much 
easier when we get rid of KDE. It would be cool to have Win and Mac 
builds ready for the KDE based 1.7, but hopefully we'll get the Qt 
porting work completed  so fast that you can't follow with KDE :)


For installer, we should co-operate with GnomeSword guys. There are at 
least some things common, like the licence agreement and detecting 
existing Sword installations and modules.
