It just changes about 10 files - if that's a big puzzle for you... You'd only
need to make the interface conditional and take the face detection specific
files out of the CMakeFile.txt, that's 3-4 includes and about as many interface
.cpp - not a big deal as I said you could have the patch tonight, it barely
took two hours to completely remove the dependency on the face detection
framework altogether and that was without knowing which components needed to be
touched - just letting the compiler complain about missing dependencies after
removing the kface dependencies from the build system - so it's quite easy and
not very time consuming making this component a compile time option - if the
necessary dependencies are there compile it, if not then don't bother...

My systems are perfectly fine, they just need libraries that are in conflict
with OpenCV (or one of it's dependencies) thus OpenCV can't be built and thus
in the end digikam can't because of the dependency on this...

Even then the library dependency still won't get away, I'm on a gentoo source
distribution and even if that were to work the interface still will be
cluttered.

I asked about it months ago - I just restated the question because nothing was
happening but discussion about build issues which were basically off topic.
Back then I told you that I managed to rip it out and thus I could have
provided a patch and even today I could do a patch (which is only half as
invasive as you make it sound)...
