Thanks very much for doing that Brian.  The patch now applies and
compiles almost cleanly.

I like what I see, but it obviously still need a lot of work.  It
crashes when adding classes (need to do it through the tree view) and
I couldn't get it to actually generate any code.  

The formatting options is looking good as is the language options.
The Class->View Code is groovy, nice highlighting and all.  

Now KDE has a feature freeze on September 1st.  So I'm curious to know
Brian if you think we could put this stuff in CVS and then you/we
would be able to make it useable by KDE release in Decembre.
Otherwise it means either a code branch or waiting for KDE 3.3 or KDE
4.

How easy/difficult is it to update the existing code generators?

Is there anything else you'd like me to comment on?
