<p>The <b>MUtilities</b> library is a collection of routines and classes to extend the <ahref="http://qt-project.org/"><em>Qt cross-platform framework</em></a>. It contains various convenience and utility functions as well as wrappers for OS-specific functionalities. The library was originally created as a "side product" of the <ahref="http://lamexp.sourceforge.net/"><b>LameXP</b></a> application: Over the years, a lot of code, <b>not</b> really specific to <em>LameXP</em>, had accumulated in the <em>LameXP</em> code base. Some of that code even had been used in other projects too, in a "copy & paste" fashion – which had lead to redundancy and much complicated maintenance. In order to clean-up the LameXP code base, to eliminate the ugly redundancy and to simplify maintenance, the code in question has finally been refactored into the <b>MUtilities</b> (aka "MuldeR's Utilities for Qt") library. This library now forms the foundation of <em>LameXP</em> and <ahref="https://github.com/lordmulder"><em>other OpenSource projects</em></a>.</p>
