And I disagree; this only makes it more difficult for people.
If I write a kde app I should only have to specify the top of the dependency chain
(e.g. $(LIB_KIO) if I use kio, $(LIB_KPARTS) if I use kparts), without having to
care that this in turn needs kdecore and kdeui (ok I could guess those),
but do I also need to remember that it includes e.g. kdefx???
You can be sure that people will keep forgetting one or the other of the
various libs that they need. OTOH with the planned kdelibs reorganization
we'll certainly have less libs than before so the problem will be somewhat
reduced.
