[Nepomuk] Nepomuk on Windows and Mac

Thank you Patrick for your reply regarding Windows.

How does this work?
Are the required binaries composed of platform-independent C++ code that can
simply be compiled with MSVC to produce DLLs for Windows?

Just to get a better understanding: How does Nepomuk currently work in KDE on
Linux, and how is it different for Windows that these things (running indexer,
database server) need to be set up?

But more importantly: How do I indeed set up a running Nepomuk indexer and
database server?

How indeed? I'd imagine we'd need to package some DLLs into the software, or
some-such.

Actually I feel that my project calls for developing a totally novel GUI for
semantic file browsing, differing greatly from traditional directory tree
browsing. As such, I don't think Dolphin will be of good use to me. Thoughts?

Please please do! I would very muchly appreciate that.

Thanks in advance!
