it's no more or less a problem than any other dependencies. and we have qui=

a list of them. let's try to stay focussed on the real issue, scripting,=20
rather than writing a laundry list of things that are neither here nor ther=
e=20
when it comes to scripting.

like all bugs, these get fixed if there is sufficient manpower and reason t=
o=20
apply to it. by keeping everything c++ we may as well just decide to not us=
e=20
scripting languages at all, ever because the level of quality and support=20
will always be pathetic.

in fact, one might say that the current state of affairs is due exactly to =
the=20
position you are taking right now. as i said before, this is a chicken and=
=20
egg problem ... if we simply take a little bit of pain right now, we stand =
a=20
chance for things to improve dramatically with time.

and seeing the state of the printer app this would be replacing (e.g. none;=
=20
it's non-existent in kde4 right now), i think having something that exists=
=20
totally trumps a theoretical c++ app that doesn't.
