Yes, I've had a look through the patch - it all looks good to me. I think a 
patch for smoke/kde the same as the smoke/qt one is needed (although that 
only gets built if '--enable-smoke=kde' is passed to configure). 
QtRuby/Korundum needs ruby 1.8 and above - is there an easy way to add a 
version check to the ruby config?

It doesn't look as though removing the test will do much harm, but when I 
regenerated the java bindings on Dec 23rd, I might possibly have removed more 
sources than I added. I don't know what limit is that is being exceeded.

Thats good, thanks. There is a problem in that the most recent qtruby project 
is in kdebindings branch called 'korundum', and we will need to be very 
careful not to get messed up trying to keep the versions in step. I'll 
promote your ruby changes to qtruby in korundum when you've added them to 
HEAD.
