But I don't want to install anything! I want to use the libs that get built
inside src subdirectories. That's my point.

That's what I do when I just run the alternative svn versions without
messing with my stable system installation - I install digiKam & libs in my
homedir and everything works. But, as mentioned above, I want something
different now.
