We'd like to make a release of Kommander. Can we get this done shortly?

Okay, let's stick to C++. Look in kommander/widget/specials.cpp and tell me 
what you see. You can not only derive a list quickly and easily, but you can 
group it by function group. Just parse "insert([group]::[function]"... and 
there is also a few "insertMacro(Kommander::[function]".

So it should be easy not only give a different color for functions, but even 
for types of functions.

I will get plugins up for testing shortly and I'd like to make a release, do a 
tutorial article and do some fund raising. Just in time probably. ;-)
