Okay, thanks for the clarification. This leads to the same result though:
we could make everything libraries and also make them provide a plugin entry point
where needed (like koffice parts). OK this is a bit dirty in general though, especially
with the new K_EXPORT_PLUGIN stuff, since we can only provide one plugin entry point
per "library". So maybe we should keep doing it the clean way instead :-)

Ah yeah that might be. But this means we can't change it, unless we require 10.4.
My Mac is 10.3.9 since the upgrade to 10.4 has to be paid for and I never got around it.
