First off, I think we should just get you a KDE SVN account. None of
this apply your patch nonsense. :D

I'm not sure about depending on QCA2 just for one function, though
it's a fairly common dependency (I think kdepim uses it). I think its
fine to commit requiring it, but swapping it out with just a
copy-and-paste SHA256 function wouldn't be a bad idea in the future.
