Damn.. I forgot about the linking.  It looks like I'm going to have to do 
this with a patch in the debian builds.  That'll work since there hasn't 
been ANY KDE 3 packages released in Debian yet.

FWIW, the reason I wanted to bump up the version numbers was to explicitely 
get rid of those versions in KDE3.  That's because they conflicted with the 
libs from KDE2 when you install both in /usr.  Basically, by not seeing 
this before we released KDE 3.0, we shot ourselves in the foot until KDE 
4.0.  Oh well.
