Next time when I compile with mingw I'll give it a try.
And you are right, I also don't see a reason why it should not work.

But this solution introduces a additional shared library and
this is the reason I don't like very much.

As I understand it, the reasons for these functions are to help the kde
development but also avoids the binding to Qt when compiled at Apple.

See the attached file which contains all the inline code and which
I forgot to post with the last patch.
