kdeutils/kcalc broken from recent kcfg changes

Yes, I know about it.

No(t yet).
Given that adding accessors for the default value, as done originally in a 
recent patch by Albert, can have two down-sides
a) not being 100% sure <code> snippets are totally independent one from each 
other
b) avoid people getting "grown" generated cpp/h files for a feature they don't 
use
I propose, with Albert's approval, the following: explicitely adding in the 
.kcfgc file the option DefaultValueGetters=true for eanbling it (default: 
false). This way, nothing should change in the generated cpp/h files wrt KDE 
4.3, and only users of that would enable it.
What do you (all) think about it?

Given that the feature was committed by Albert, who left for akademy the day 
after, I fixed it on my own making it working (modulo <code> snippets for 
default values depending on other ones); so I guess I could (but I won't) take 
your yell.
Although, given that akademy people had a crappy (at most) internet working 
(so had difficulties in reaching him), and that after all trunk is open since 
few days (and the breakage is there since not even half a week), what about 
being a bit more patient, instead to "have to yell" at first? </friendly 
ribbing>
