(1) is easily done within the configure scripts.  (2) it would possibly be
much easier if you could provide a library than an object file.  If you
do, we can also add it through the configury (is it enough for that object
to be placed in the code library, e.g. libkdecore?).  (3) of course needs
changes to the source itself.  I would find it easier (as user) if the
changed behaviour would depend on an environment var being set or not.


Ciao,
Michael.
