That small overhead doesn't hurt and we don't have yet an other code path that
is only compiled on mac os.

I personally wouldn't want to stick with stuff that is not actively developed
and fixed anymore, but you are right, it won't go away that fast.

But keep in mind e.g. for Kate/KWrite, no KDE 4.x based non-critical (aka dataloss)
bugs will be fixed anymore, we even have not enough manpower to keep all master
bugs in check :/
