which was an interesting challenge to see how to create a multi platform
library.

and we remove a dependency.
According to a recent build log
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-kmymoney-installer/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/x86_64
kmymoney depends on about 85 packages. Removing one dependency is about
1,11 %.

adding more stuff into.
