Of course, this configure.in.in was for trunk...

For KDE 3.5, the problem is that there is no pkgconfig header for qt3 
bindings[1]. A possible work around would be to use pkgconfig for dbus, and 
search for qt binding in the found include and lib path... But I am not sure 
such a "cosmetic" change is worth the effort, considering the imminent 
release of 3.5, and that the current configure.in.in is quite "proven", 
despite its aspect.

[1] It even seems to me that qt3 bindings have been removed from the dbus CVS. 
The range of HAL/DBus versions working with KDE 3.5 is getting narrower and 
narrower...
