Can someone with extreme knowledge about binary compatibility can set up
a page on developer.kde.org about that ? this will be of importance to
application developers as well and become more important with KDE 3
because by then we should have our API so consistent that it doesn't
need major changes and the 3.0 API can be used always by software
vendors even with new KDE 3.x versions.
