joachim99@8: About the "kreplacements"-directory:
joachim99@8: ====================================
joachim99@8: 
joachim99@8: I want to be able to compile and use KDiff3 without KDE too.
joachim99@8: Since KDiff3 is a KDE program, which uses many KDE-classes and
joachim99@8: functions there must be some replacement.
joachim99@8: 
joachim99@8: In many cases this is just the corresponding Qt-class, but often
joachim99@8: I wrote something myself. For several very KDE-specific functions
joachim99@8: there is no real replacement, but only stub functions that allow
joachim99@8: the program to compile and link.
joachim99@8: 
joachim99@8: This stuff is not intended to be used for anything else but KDiff3.
joachim99@8: Think of it rather as a big hack, that only has the advantage
joachim99@8: that I need not mess up the normal program with many ugly
joachim99@8: #ifdef/#endif-clauses.
joachim99@8: 
joachim99@8: Most include files in this directory only include kreplacements.h
joachim99@8: where the actual declarations are. The implementions are in
joachim99@8: kreplacements.cpp.
joachim99@8: 
joachim99@8: The *.moc-files are dummies. The new KDE-philosophy seems to be
joachim99@8: that *.moc-files are directly included into the sources.  
joachim99@8: The Qt-philosophy still is to generate moc*.cpp files which will
joachim99@8: be compiled seperately. With these dummy-moc-files both versions
joachim99@8: can be compiled.
