  Do you actually intend to test this on Mac? I laud and applaud the initiative 
but I see only one way that the package will ever get used on Mac - providing 
KWin as a standalone alternative *X11* window manager for use under XQuartz 
(knowing that XQuartz currently doesn't support compositing). And that's not 
possible with stock Qt (not until some of us team up to polish my PoC 
Qt/XCB-on-Mac patches and submit them for upstream incorporation; the Qt guys 
are likely to accept them as it'd fit with their policy and there might be a 
"market").
  
  FWIW, funny coincidence, I did manage to build kscreenlocker 5.9.3 on Mac 
last week, simply #ifdeffing-out parts of the code that where Linux specific or 
required an X11 KWindowSystem build (I just build the plugin). The screenlocker 
blacks out the screen but lacking keyboard event support it had to be killed. 
Or just quit via the native Mac menu item, which kind of defeats the purpose of 
a screenlocker ;)
  
  FWIW2: if you feel like starting a crusade against linuxisms, please do start 
with libwayland. It has a number of those (signalfd, epoll) which stand in the 
way of bringing Wayland to Mac, and there'd definitely be a market for that.
