[Soc-coordination] [GSoC] KDE4/Qt4 based package manager

[Obey Arthur Liu]

Oh, I just realized I sniped out most of Mateusz's mail in my response
and cc: to soc-coordination, so here is the full text:

> this package manager without downloading extra dependeces.
> How this package manager should look? I would make it look a bit like

> me. This kind of program is aimed at beginners, so we must make
> everything to try make package installing with this tool as simple as
> possible.
> That's why I think the best way to make Qt4 based package manager is
> make it from scratch.
