Hi all,

last week I met Klaus Knopper the initiator of the well know KNOPPIX 
linux distribution. He told me that he currently uses a delphi 
application for creating image files anmd swap files on an ntfs 
formated  drive. Because of the commercial delphi IDE  he feels 
uncomfortable to release the original source under gpl. While we a 
talking about qt/win he asked if it would be possible to write a qt 
gpl'ed application doing this job. So I took some time and wrote a 
static linked application, which wasn't a real problem.

When this application will be release, it will be seen by many people 
and will be a good change to do place some marketing for the free qt 
library, so I added a info page about the the qt/Win Free Edition.
While doing so, I stumbled again about the project name KDE-Cygwin for 
the qt library, so my thoughts were again if it would be better to us a 
more descriptive name like Dave Bronsemas project on 
http://qtwin.sf.net. I'm thinking about either redirecting the webpage 
directly to qt3-win32 or to move all qt related parts like qt-3 related 
webspace, cvs qt-3 subdir to this project to give it a descriptive home.

Any comments ?

Regards
 Ralf
