The one from trunk kdebindings. Any help with Qyoto would be great, it just 
needs a little bit more work to be quite useful.

I not sure about the macros. It should be a matter of doing a 'make -f 
Makefile.cvs', and configure with a prefix pointing the kde4 kdelibs.

To build trunk kdebindings, you need to check out unsermake from 
kde/trunk/kdenonbeta/unsermake and add it to your $PATH environment variable.

The easiest way to build the Smoke library might be to download QtRuby 1.4.5 
from here:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/korundum/

That version doesn't need unsermake, only automake/autoconf, and you don't 
have to build and install kde4 libs. On the other hand, the configure will 
look for ruby, so you'll need to have that installed.
