+In addition to \proglang{R}, \pkg{RKWard} is based on the \pkg{KDE} libraries \citep{KDEmain}, which are in turn based
+on \pkg{Qt} \citep{QTmain}, and implemented mostly in \proglang{C++}. Compared to many competing libraries,
this constitutes a rather heavy dependency. Moreover, the \pkg{KDE} libraries are
still known to have portability issues especially on Mac OS X, and to some degree
also on the Microsoft Windows platform \citep{Jarvis2010}.
