Gah.  /me makes mental note to not answer any e-mails without scrolling down 
first to see if there's another thread that answers my questions...  =:/

m'Kay.  5/8 was a little earlier than I was hoping for.  I was hoping that 
we'd be able to get a very solid 3.5.7 release tagged and then be able to 
focus only on porting into trunk.  Now we'll need to try to stabilize 2 
branches, it sounds like.  

Is there any way to guesstimate how much change will be required to port an 
app from {qt,kde}3 to {qt,kde}4.  How are other apps doing this?  The farther 
the two codebases diverge, of course, the harder it will be to 
bug-fix/enhance/etc....

We've gotten a good head start on this, I think.  I'm assuming that we'll be 
able to use the cmake build system that we've put in place for kpilot with 
little changes for kde4?

Check.  =;)  Definitely.

I think kpilot already does?

Yep, makes sense.  

Thanks again for all your work and attention to these details Allen!!  =:D
