My project has one known crash bug, which I'll fix this weekend. There
are some bugs in HUpnp that would need fixing. Ideally I'd be ready
for a merge in about 2 weeks including any review of the code Bart
might want to do. I have questions regarding external dependencies.

Amarok collections are dynamically loaded plugins, so it is not
necessary to have HUpnp and kio-upnp-ms as *compile time*
dependencies, and so packagers would most likely have a separate
package for it (though I've no idea how this is done).

But how is downstream notified of the two new dependencies which are
unlikely to be part of KDE till 4.6 atleast.
HUpnp (http://herqq.org)
kio-upnp-ms (http://gitorious.org/kio-upnp-ms)
