Hi Anuj,

And thank you very much for doing this work.

There are still a couple of small bugs I need to figure out in the build system of KBounce, KNavalBattle and KMines before they're completely ready.

Oh well, only about 37 games to go… :-)

Seriously, has it taken you about a month per game?  These are quite
small games.  Do you have any estimate how long a much larger game
might take to port to KF 5, such as Palapeli?

@all:
Is anybody else besides Anuj working on porting games to KF 5?

If not, who will do it?  And what will happen to individual games if they
do not get ported to KF 5?

Sorry, I could only eyeball the code quickly.  I am not yet able to build
Frameworks on my platform (Apple OS X).

At first glance the code looks OK, but I do not like the sound of random
crashes due to a build system bug.

Cheers, Ian W.
