Hi :)

So, making KPhotoAlbum build on Windows wasn't that hard at all. What's else 
there needed is testing it's basic abilities, creating an emerge python script 
(i guess i'll do that soon) and more work on porting - we had to disable 
screensaver control (i guess, it was needed so that Slideshow wouldn't be 
interrupted by screensaver) for now, but it needs porting.

here's a proofpic http://imagebin.ca/view/LCwEA16.html

Best regards,
Eduard
