Yah, but when it takes 4 days to build a car and thirty eight seconds to paint
the car suddenly that little detail of building the car makes a big ass deal.
Port any generic app that doesn't use KAutoConfig to KConfigXT and then port
an app from KAutoConfig to KConfigXT and then come back and tell us how I was
so wrong and I all the work I did was a wasting of time. I am sure waba
could testify just how easy it was to port from KAutoConfig vs not having
that common code infrastructure in place.

No. I will simply not commit all the work I have done once head opens again.
I'll let you and everyone port them yourselves sense what I have done is
"just a waste of time" and you wouldn't want it anyway.
And your welcome for all of the work I have done so far.
