Well this is where we have to agree to disagree.

The essential interface is kdevcomponet and that is all. Knowledge of the 
interfaces to the components in the framework is not necessary.

Also grepview does know the api for the projectview that is "set in concrete" 
in the framework. This is not ideal...

I also believe the perceived loss of efficience is a "red herring". Show me a 
compute bound problem in the framework and I'll show you a solution :-)

I suspect we should stop this now. I will not convince you that there is a 
better way, just as you will not convince me that I am wrong.

My last word
The code Bernd has written is still excellent. It'll be a great pleasure to 
work within this framework. For that I've extremely grateful to him. :-)
