As you may have seen from Marko's post on this list, Save and Load
worked OK in KMahjongg on Marko's Apple OS X CI setup, iff he had
kded5 running.  So, no problems with KMahjongg itself.  Plenty with
kded5 and friends on Apple OS X, but that is off-topic here.

The qgraphic branch of KMahjongg is looking good and it is now out
of "archaeology" mode.  It could well be ready in time for merging into
the frameworks branch and then back into master for release.

Roney and I will see how we progress with that.  If it is not ready in time,
the current kmahjongg/frameworks code can be merged and released.

Cheers, Ian W.
