Just a comment:
from kdelibs -> kdebase to
kdelibs -> kdepimlibs -> kdepimslibs-gpl (?) -> kdebase-workspace -> 
kdebase-apps ?

And a hint: using the <projectname>_SOURCE_DIR and <projectname>_BINARY_DIR 
variables projects can also be setup so that they can be compiled standalone 
as well as as subdirectory of a bigger containing project.
