thank you for the prompt reply :)
the compiling of a static plasma library directly in the amarok source
looks interesting, but i'm not sure if we'll need the full
resources/complexity of plasma to justify it. either way, i'll start
doing it bit-by-bit and if it turns out that i'm pretty much bringing
all of it in to amarok, i'll go ahead and svn extern it and compile
libplasma statically.

amarok devs: what do you guys this?
