that is what I thought. So the only solutions that I see are:

1. A hack like now (bad)
2. put all in one header and one source file named after the ontology (very 
bad)
3. As I proposed earlier: only create the base ontology in kmetadata itself 
and add the sources to the svn (only a little bad)
4. Make rcgen a script (I don't have enough scripting skills for that)
5. Compile rcgen before kmetadata (and even before kdelibs, probably not 
possible)
