As some of the developpers touched a bunch of sources, looking at the
cvs is much better :)

I don't know if Jo will agree but I think you can keep the Image/Pixmap
stuff dealing with Imlib (imlib isn't documented so you won't have to
waste some time on this), and the TrueType part of the font handling.
All these are not in Qt 1.x, and sources of Qt 2.0 are not available.

Jo waht do you think of this?

A last word on pixmap (I don't know for image, and font), MT isn't here
so you'll need to add it (which should be fairly easy anyway).


As far as the name Harmony is concerned, IMHO it should be used by the
project dealing with KDE/Gnome gtk/Qt/whatever :) compatibility.

Just my $0.02

Lokh.
