It is possibly something KDE could be interested in, although Bastien might be 
in a better position to comment on that.

As a general word of advice from experience, if you want even the possibility 
of other projects using a library you write then you need to make it as 
generic as possible right from the start and with a clear design separating 
the core and platform-specific parts.  Even temporary solutions as a quick 
hack using familiar technology have a bad habit of hanging around long after 
they were intended (i.e. GeoClue and gconf :-).

Just on the whole KDE situation, we've been looking into gelocation again and 
this has led to one of our devs trying to work up a patch to remove the gconf 
and gsettings dependencies.  The patch proposal should turn up in the next 
couple of weeks for discussion.

Cheers!

John.

P.S. Oh, and Quikee: that probably means no Vala, sorry.
