Yes! I also read your blog entry. Great job! Again, if you need some features 
in the part, please tell me. Given my free time, I'll try to implement them as 
soon as possible. You are also free to change the code if necessary.

I'll have a new look at that as soon as possible, maybe during the summer.


When your work will be integrated in the mainstream kdevelop, will it be a 
problem to be dependant from a part from extragear ?
