You don't need that, who said you need to do that? I just checked out
devtools with -N, then svn up'ed icemon, created a builddir, ran cmake
and make it all went fine (after installing libicecc-dev).

The other stuff is not needed either, there's macro_optionalXXX

Stop checking out stuff you don't need.

No it doesn't:

svn co -N https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/devtools
cd devtools
svn ls (pick what you want from the result)
svn up icemon cmake.

Apparently that was never the plan.
