Yes, I think we will not really have three levels of dependencies, but 
basically a full dependency tree between the libs.

Should there still be something which makes some library/application a "KDE" 
application ?
Right now it is linking against kdecore basically (which includes using the 
KDE cmake macros).
Which is related to the question where the macros and settings from 
FindKDE4Internal.cmake and KDE4Macros.cmake will go.
The stuff in there is really KDE-specific (e.g. the way we install icons, and 
how we figure out compiler flags, etc.).
Will there be a KDEStuff.cmake in extra-cmake-modules ?
But it doesn't really belong there, it belongs to the basic "KDE" component.
Will there be something like that ?
A libkcore ?
