Yup...I'm porting ABrowse and its not much porting left.
khtml and qt compiles, but not tested so I guess theres quite a few
bugs to squash. What is left is also the client, but that should be
pretty trivial.
When Im finnished with the port, I would love someone to take a look
at kssl or similiar, because I really think a ssl layer is a must. It
is as needed as javascript.
I have not had a chance to test the khtml or qt parts, since I have
not been home for a month.
I hope to get home this week and porting the acctual client, and start
testing khtml and qt. A alpha release should not be much work left.
