There's also about a thousand places where we use kde4_add_library, kde4_add_plugin or kde4_add_unit_test. Simple porting tasks suddenly become a big thing.

and how bad it is to port all functionality from KIcon to QIcon, and
in the KIcon header , a simple

#include <QIcon>
typedef KIcon QIcon

?

then, no porting effort is necessary.
