It's not that important anymore, there are quite a view applications / modules 
which are only compiled on specific plattforms.

I think the main reason we decided to stay out of KDE-CVS, because than we can 
do our own release schedules, but we should really consider, if it is such a 
big disadvantage, if we would obey their feature/messages freezes. We can 
still release updated versions in betweeen of KDE releases.

There would be some advantages, when we move to KDE-CVS:
	1)	possibly more users -> more testers / bugreports / ....
	2)	(1) -> perahaps we will finally become really "multi-platfform"
	3)	It could be, we get some more developers
	4)	Don't know anything else at the moment
