It doesn't help that with libkexiv2 and libkdcraw in KDE release cycles, their
version numbers are now invisible to users - if distributions ship a combined
"kdegraphics" release then it's version number will be 4.4.4 (doesn't work) or
4.5.0 (would do). Even distributions that split kdegraphics down into it's
sections so that only the needed parts are installed keep the same number as
the tarball the package is built from - so my Gentoo system has
kde-base/libkexiv2 version 4.4.4 installed (i.e. the version from KDE release
4.4.4), yet when I try to build digikam I get an error about libkexiv2 >= 1.1.0
- doesn't make a lot of sense until I go digging in some depth.

Would it not at least make sense to use the KDE-wide version numbers for
libkexiv2 if it is only to be released as part of KDE-wide release tarballs?

Or if we are to consider these libraries to be only used by digikam and
kipi-plugins (not really true, I've found thumbnailers and plasma add-ons using
libkexiv2), could there be some instructions on how to static link them to
these libraries? I've tried to point CMake at the compiled but uninstalled
libraries from kdegraphics, but to no avail (it still can't see them).
