Yes I would really like to have some unit test framework in kdelibs so that
the unit tests there can all use the same framework.

I haven't tested KUnitTest, but if the lib can be separated from the GUI,
then let's have the lib in kdelibs and the gui in kdesdk. Would be nice to have
a non-gui mode for "make check" though.
