Message forwarded from Danalien

[Dan Jensen]

Hello KDE People,

  On behalf of Danalien of the Slicker development team, who cannot for 
reasons of a harddrive crash, I am forwarding a message to you from him.

--Message begin--
For our project, it's needed to check for what version of kde the user is 
running; after snooping around, no other alternative was found of how to do 
this, thus I've crafted a proper AC-macro that'll do the trick *as you can 
see from the attachments*'. 

'Now, we can't patch the 'acinclude.m4.in' ourselfs, as our admin dir is 
linked to a copy of yours kde-common. Thus, we are wondering if you'd 
concider patching it yourselfs. Elsewise, I'd have to live with just adding 
all this to our conifgure.in.in' 
--Message end--
