I really wonder if _extra_gear/libs is the right location.

These libs will be hard dependecies for some programs in the normal kde 
modules, right? So I have to build them between kdelibs/kdepimlibs and the 
other modules:
	qt-copy->kdesupport->kdelibs->kdepimlibs->$FRESHLIBS->kdebase & Co.
And between major release the API will change, so I would have to update them 
on mondays if compiling one of the dependent programs/modules.

So could we instead create a new module
	trunk/KDE/kdenewlibs (or similar).
Such a name and the location would better reflect what the content is about.

This does not only affect libs of kdelibs, but also some of the other modules 
which (as far as I was told) have to keep their API stable, too, once made 
public. 

Cheers
