Yes it does. But as far as I am concerned Qt on Windows does not support 
dbus by default so it requires rebuilding. Anyway if it will work as it 
is - fine.

Also, by universal client for everything I mean, really, if I will do 
that I will make it like that (I won't touch existing KDE gui as it is 
good already).

BTW it is actually what I want to propose as GSoC project. And it 
implies sort of real changes because most plugins are highly dependent 
on KDE. For example, SFTP plugin uses KIO (however very slightly) . More 
important, it uses sshfs which is unacceptable on windows (it has its 
own port of sshfs and I will try to figure out how to deal with it 
probably), etc, etc.

In conclusion, pretty much everything there needs to be rewritten 
(slightly, but still) in order to make it cross-platform.
