I'm forced to wonder if you actually looked at the patch before
sending this. If you did, then I have no idea what you are talking
about. The statement "if !defined KDE_DEBUG_OUTPUT" on line 109 is
hardly an always true statement, at least not after Allen's patch a
few days ago.

As far as I can tell my patch works and I committed it. Things can
actually compile now, the debug output is removed, and KDE4 runs
noticeably (at least) faster, as would be expected from the
elimination of all the debug output. (Actually, it runs incredibly
faster; you guys gotta check this out.)

I did not do anything about the KDE3_SUPPORT stuff.
