Then there's nothing "extra" about it. Extra means optional. Extragear-libs needed by kdelibs
means it's not optional anymore, and if it's "released independently" like extragear normally is,
then we have a big mess ahead of us. This isn't about my order of compilation, this is about
releases and versions and requirements.

Why don't we just make a kdegraphicslibs like we have kdepimlibs? Then I have
no objection to it being compiled after kdelibs and before kdegraphics, assuming
kdegraphicslibs is released with KDE (kdelibs and kdegraphics and all the rest - no
version hunting nightmare, it's all matching).

But this doesn't help nepomuk, it's not a graphic lib :)
