khelpcenter porting status

Hi,

i like to inform that khelpcenter is now able to display KDE documentations on windows systems (tested with Windows xp). There were some issues in the kio_help slave which prevents displaying of pages and images.

Searching through the whole documentation is disabled and *not* ported because of the following reasons:

- the unix version of khelpcenter uses htdig as external tool for indexing and searching which isn't ported in the kde context yet. - For KDE 4.x strigi is used as a "buildin" desktop search engine and if it would be able to index and search KDE docs too, htdig could be dropped to avoid having multiple search engines in KDE 4. The strigi homepage http://strigi.sourceforge.net/?q=features#supported_files lists some oasis format, so indexing xml seem to be possible, but html and docbook are not explicit listed, so I cannot say if this would be possible.

Regards
Ralf
