Re: Evolution to be ported to windows

Evolution... Now that chimes in with a discovery I made yesterday evening. I'm porting the Wet & Sticky paint model to Krita, and I needed a cut & dried rgb to hls color conversion routine. That particular routine wasn't yet in the KOffice painter lib, so I googled for something cut & pastable.

It turns out that (at least in some version) Evolution contains not just code to draw a bevelled button, but that that code also contains its own particular colourspace conversion routines:

http://www.gxsnmp.org/CVS/evolution/notes/e-bevel-button-util.c

I don't like to use the word 'bloat' in combination with code, mostly because that almost invariably exposes one as a complete ignoramus, but, well, I'd be tempted if I were sure that this code is actually inside a compiled Evolution.

Great.. so they'll have the same beveled buttons on windows as on linux. Cool stuff. It has to be so much fun to reinvent the wheel over and over again, I guess... What else did they build in?
