Some more thoughts on khtml

[Roderick Colenbrander]

What's the use of win32 port of the GPL version of QT for wine? We don't want 
wine to depend on Qt, if we wanted this we could just use the normal Unix 
version of Qt.

The khtml-win32 project is much more usefull for wine. That project is 
actually porting the qt wrapper Apple made for use in Safari to Windows. When 
that port is done, it could be used in Wine.
