I think we need to make a proper lib out of it. Jeremy (jpwhiting) is better 
qualified than me to deal with it ;)

What is more worrying me is the /data folder that Kanagram and KHangMan 
depends on. Debian has problem with making it a dependency as we got numerous 
bugreports where people did not have the data installed. I have no idea how to 
make it a CMake dependency (don't build KHangMan and Kanagram is data/ is not 
installed). Maybe it's not possible.

We can also bundle thelib and the apps but I'd prefer the lib separate 
personally to give a chance to have for example in the future only an applet 
installed based on kvtm and not the whole app.
