Stand alone Konqueror browser

[Andreas Baitis]

Thanks for the info Ralf,

As a web developer that uses Konqueror allot, I'm very happy to see that some 
progress is being made toward getting KDE apps running under windows.

I think KDE and Linux in general would do very well having Konqueror running 
on Windows. I consider it to be the best browser out there, and it would be a 
great ambassador for OSS.

While I have php/javascript programming experience, I have no C/C++ 
experience, is there anything I can do to help the project along?
