What i am trying to say is: given the fact that the primary 
development OS is Linux, and that there are also FreeBSD and Solaris 
KDE sites: in case i need to patch something for Solaris, but it 
won't work on Linux, or FreeBSD: can we work together and find a 
common solution, in these tricky cases ? i am very much aware that in 
certain cases, that won't be possible, and in certain other cases 
that won't even be necessary (for example, memory_solaris.cpp).

i am offering to help and i am very much willing to work with anyone 
who is interested in working with me on this as well. it's not about 
defending one's turf, it's about finding common turf. :-)
