Easy to say, but nobody can guarantee that it compiles on *all* systems.

Like in this case; this is specific to a few systems (Alex mentionned Slackware).
See commit -r519080 on trunk/KDE/kdelibs/ConfigureChecks.cmake, you might
want to backport this one to the snapshot to compile it with cmake.

Yes, but it's not a 100% guarantee, even if it compiles for the one guy tagging the snapshot.

PS: to be honest, I don't understand Cristian's tooth. To compile kdelibs you already
need to install on your system about 30 -devel packages. Actually I needed to install 75 packages
on my default mandriva installation. So what's one more package? Sure right now you need
to compile it, so what? If you're brave enough to compile kde trunk you can surely handling
compiling cmake :)
