4.10 is going to be released at the end of January 2013. So until then there 
is no stable release of libkipi that will work with digikam 3.0.

This states that digikam 3.0 will be released before KDE SC 4.10 releases the 
required libkipi.

So distros will have to include an unreleased (from KDE SC's point of view) 
version of libkipi if they want to provide digikam 3.0. Leaving alone 
providing packages for beta testing.

To me it does not sound like a good plan to require an unreleased KDE version 
for a digikam release. Especially since it's not like digikam was a brand new 
app in it's 0.1.x versions.

Does digikam at least provide a cmake switch to only build libkipi from its 
private libs and not either everything including libkdcraw etc. or nothing?
