kdefx removal - status, and a call for final clean-up help

[Matthew Woehlke]

Ok, first... there are a number of apps relying on kdeui linking to 
kdefx, that broke when I removed kdefx from kdeui. I re-added kdefx to 
the link libs, but depending on the linking I'm not sure if this will 
work. For now, if there are still errors, please add kdefx as a direct 
link. Meanwhile, kdelibs and kdebase are kdefx free, koffice has I think 
one or two users left, and I count ten or eleven (or less, depending on 
how you count) other users left.

I'm out of time this week, so I'll have to do the remaining portage 
Monday. Based on the progress I've made the last three nights, I think 
this is achievable, so the sdk release (and next beta) will be 
kdefx-free and we can finally put kdefx to rest.

BUT... this does not include a number of kwin styles (kde2, laptop, 
modernsys, redmond; I already ported plastik and glow). What I'd like to 
do tomorrow (or Monday) is disable these from building until they can be 
ported, and I would really, *really* appreciate if a few people can step 
forward to help so that they are there in the beta. The work is not 
difficult, it only takes maybe an hour or two per windeco, if that, but 
unfortunately I don't have that much time (I'm gone from tomorrow 
evening until Monday).

So, this is a call for help and for opinions what to do about these 
windecos which are among the last hold-outs of kdefx usage.
