I've gone through keg, playground and the kdeaccessibility module and
checked that whatever I could compile has kconfig-related things ported
properly.

kdepim is being done by Andreas Hartmetz and pim-people. koffice should
be done, but I'll do a build of that now anyway.

So from my side there's nothing left, we do have a serious problem with
sycoca which might be related to the changes that the kconfig branch
introduced. I didn't have these problems when testing stuff from the
branch, it only shows now in trunk. Hopefully Thomas Braxton or Bernhard
show up soon and can fix those (I don't have much idea about kconfig
code myself)
