I don't really like the idea.
It creates another *very* special variant how to build things in KDE. The 
dependencies for the moc files etc. have to be handled correctly. I don't 
feel like maintaining three different ways how to build apps or libs.

A better idea would be if the enable_final option could be switched on/off per 
directory. But this is currently not possible, it's one global option per 
module. Another idea would be if ENABLE_FINAL is enabled, to also generate 
the "normal" targets so that they can be called manually. Then the output for 
these targets would have to be renamed...
