I think the obvious place to move the KApplication::helpMenu()
it to KTMainWindow since it already deals with menubars etc.

The KApplication::helpMenu() should then return an empty menu
and also write some porting help to stdout to ease the transition. I assume 
the KApplication::aboutKDE() and KApplication::aboutApp() will have to 
remain although one can make static methods KTMainWindow that do 
the same. The new dialogs will be modeless.

If nobody think this is really bad I will make the changes this evening.
