Are you familar with cvs ? If so send me private your sf account name, so I can
give you cvs access.

Holger has asked too, if he could use the qt3 branch. The current running cygwin
qt-3 is based on qt.3.1 rc1 and there is some work neede to update it to qt
3.1.1 which is the last recent.

Yes it is possible to start with qt-3, but it is complexer as the qt-2 stuff and
don't forget, there is a non commercial qt2.3 release available, so someone with
a visual c++ can give some hints about the internal logic with reverse
engeeniering, which isn't possible with qt-3, because there is no nc release.

Migrating the ported win32 classed to qt-3 after the qt-3 port seems not too
complicated to me.

So I vote for starting with qt-2.

Regards
Ralf
