The admin directory contains a lot more than just the minimum Qt 
requirement. It is developed for major KDE releases, and is tested against 
them. Nobody tests HEAD admin against a stoneage KDE 3.0 release, and it 
might do everything from not work at all or wipe all of your harddisk when 
you do. 

Its not that difficult to pick up the admin in the revision you're 
interested in depending on which KDE version you want your app to work 
against: just check out the branch you're interested in. Thats why we add 
branches to CVS.
