As said already: It is libart in kdelibs which disturbs us, and rightly
so.  The classes written by yourself, for using libart, and converting
svg->png and whatnot, those are appropriate for kdelibs, just like
other buildtools, e.g. dcopidl.  Just libart needs another place, if we
want to have our own at all, which only you can judge, depending on how
wide it's already distributed.  I would guess, not very, so libart in
kdesupport seems right.  Maybe even the full version, not a stripped down
one, so the other KDE programs can make use of it without having their own
copy.


Ciao,
Michael.
