Hello, core people, here is Danalien's reply:

What about '#MIN_CONFIG(3.1)' ?

if we grep in $FRESH_CVS_SRC/, ` grep -in "#MIN_CONFIG" * -r `

We'll get the following in 'admin/ChangeLog':
     * now #MIN_CONFIG tag takes parameters for KDE_USE_QT, too.
          e.g. #MIN_CONFIG(2.2) for qt 2.2 usage

looks, promising, but let's first look at the other lines we get,
at line 250, 251, 253 & 293 of 'admin/cvs.sh':

    250    if head -2 configure.in.in | egrep "^#MIN_CONFIG\(.*\)$" 
> /dev/null; then
    251       kde_use_qt_param=`cat configure.in.in | sed -n -e 
"s/#MIN_CONFIG(\(.*\))/\1/p"`
    252    fi

this will set the '$kde_use_qt_param' to '3.1'

    253    if head -2 configure.in.in | egrep "^#MIN_CONFIG" > /dev/null; then
    254       line=`grep "^AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(" configure.in.in`

in our case, '$line' gets set to 'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([slicker], [0.1], 
[http://slicker.sf.net/])'

    293 if test -f configure.in.in && head -2 configure.in.in | grep 
"^#MIN_CONFIG" > /dev/null; then
    294         echo $admindir/configure.in.min >> configure.files
    295 fi

this will append '$admindir/configure.in.min' to configure.files file.


now let's grep for, ` grep -in "kde_use_qt_param" * -r ` , and look at line 
273 & 274  of 'cvs.sh'
(if you're wondering why?, because everything else we got from our first grep 
is unimportant....)

    273 if test -n "$kde_use_qt_param"; then
    274       sed -e "s#^dnl KDE_USE_QT#KDE_USE_QT($kde_use_qt_param)#" \
    275         configure.in.new > configure.in && mv configure.in 
configure.in.new
    276 fi

it substitutes the line 'dnl KDE_USE_QT' in 'configure.in.new', with 
'KDE_USE_QT(3.1)'



final conclusion, is that '#MIN_CONFIG(3.1)' will only check for a min. QT 
version, and in
no way, is going to check for a min. KDE version (as the 'KDE_USE_QT  AC- 
macro' is QT only ...).

( '#MIN_CONFIG(3.1)' is the equalant of using both: '#MIN_CONFIG' and 
'KDE_USE_QT(3.1)'  in configure.in.in )
