Yes, nearly copy&paste: the copies of KDChart in Calligra & KMyMoney are older 
(2.4.1, based on Qt4) versions, while the copy of KDChart in Massif-Visualizer 
matches the version of the KChart lib in KDiagram.

Yes, any volunteers here for reviewing the CMake parts? :) Code should be 
similar to that of a KF5 tier1 lib.
