I think people are a bit surprised by your question since many people,=20
including me, are under the impression that what you ask for is already=20
common practice. [1] Just drop a mail to kde-core-devel if there is a=20
specific porting issue that needs to be resolved.

Cheers,
Waldo

[1] Assuming at least that there is a responsive developer around for the=20
non-linux platform in question. It's hard to come up with solutions for=20
platform XYZ if there is no one around that can tell you how platform XYZ=20
works, or if there is no one around to notice that something is broken on=20
platform XYZ in the first place.
