Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. KDE using what pretty much every 
single dependency we have is using on our main platform would be silly. It's 
way better when we have our own stuff. Especially if instead just exporting 
one environment variable to completely switch my build environments now I get 
to remember what build system uses what to remember what exactly I need to 
change to compile/link in a different environment. It's good because thanks 
to that we'll all get to understand more build systems ;)
