yes, as qtc in kdebindings is for qt :)

yes, but it's a really slow project (no cvs access, and only one guy). Maybe we have to help this project

Why not just port the GPL version of Qt to Windows?  The kde-cygwin project is doing that right
now and it isn't terribly hard (if you know the Windows API ;).  I think if some wine developers
got involved it could be accomplished very quickly as Qt is almost completely platform agnostic
... it only would require a port of 10 files or so...

See:
1. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=104072112729044&w=2
2. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cygwin&m=104273412430620&w=2
3. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cygwin&m=104273881706572&w=2

BTW, I have setup a project and already started porting the build stuff to use mingw32. 
Currently, am stuck in the qfile_win.cpp and qdir_win.cpp (copies of the qfile_unix.cpp and
qdir_unix.cpp) with the general functions that abstract file creation/deletion for windows ... but
then I don't know any Windows API ;)

Cheers,

Some more thoughts on khtml

[Roderick Colenbrander]

What's the use of win32 port of the GPL version of QT for wine? We don't want 
wine to depend on Qt, if we wanted this we could just use the normal Unix 
version of Qt.

The khtml-win32 project is much more usefull for wine. That project is 
actually porting the qt wrapper Apple made for use in Safari to Windows. When 
that port is done, it could be used in Wine.
