The branch or modul should only exist for the time of porting the apps. So your
agrument against another branch of module is not valid :-) Torben and me made
already made a very bad experience when we once wanted to do a big port and
just broke KOffice. 

So as there is much more code in KOffice than just kchart which has to be
ported, it makes it just easier to port the stuff if you do it in two
modules/branches as you have always still a working version around.
