Hi,

- one option is making Marble an optional compile-time or even run-time
dependency, however this is not easy because we use some geodata-classes from
Marble in the core of libkmap. But in principle, it could be done. Without
Marble, libkmap can still run using Google Maps.

- compiling digikam without libkmap: Should be doable using ifdef and CMake,
and simply make the map search, gps properties tab and central map view
unavailable.

However, I share Marcel's feeling about removing these features: For 2.0, they
were heavily advertised. Now if some user fears compiling digikam, and instead
try out a live cd, they might be disappointed to find a digikam without the
features they anticipated.

Michael
