People who do 
   make ; su -c "make install"
end up with the relinked binary owned by root, which leads to problems
later on when doing "make". Doing linking operations during "make install"
is just wrong IMHO.

Yes, since we have the wrapper shell script for calling those binaries anyway, no?
Does .kcfg compilation in kdelibs happen by calling kcfg_compiler.sh automatically?

Do you mean being able to set both NOGUI and RUN_UNINSTALLED?
Hmm... I can't see the relation with the above, but certainly this seems useful
for unit-test programs, and for e.g. kcfg_compiler.

GUI+RUN_UNINSTALLED would be what interactive test programs
(e.g. kdeui/tests/kwindowtest) would use.
