But that is just it... There never was any requirement of compiling
kwebkitpart before kdebase, ever! I think perhaps you are confusing
konq-plugins with being in kdebase ? But the konq-plugins prior to the
trunk for KDE 4.7 being opened were located in extragear/base and not
kdebase. So I do not know where you got the impression of such
dependency. It did not exist.

The optional dependency that existed was that some of the konq-plugins
linked directly against kwebkitpart if available. As such you needed
to have compiled and installed kwebkitpart to activate support for it
in some of these konq-plugins. And that was the ugly dependency that
was solved by the changes I described in my original response. Anyhow,
I guess this is not really the point of your discussion, but a rather
a bad example you used...
