Hi

Due to <reasons> I was looking at why we install kcfg files.
They seem to have two different usages in the sources:

They can be KConfigLoader'ed at runtime or they can be kconfig_compiler'ed
to c++ code at build time. Or sometimes both.

I don't know if I have missed something, but do we have utilities that
work with other projects kcfg files where it would be an advantage to
have the kcfg files around for the code generated c++ files ?

Do we gain anything from installing a settings.kcfg file for a component
that is using it for code generating at build time, or are we just
confusing our future selves by having them also installed?
