[Kde-extra-gear] extragear insanity again

[George Staikos]

   At aKademy I decided to check out extragear graphics to build Kst.  The 
checkout was, IIRC, over 200MB.  Can I ask again why we don't put a separate 
toplevel and admin on each app individually?  We could still keep the 
toplevel structure in a sense:

extragear/
extragear/graphics
extragear/graphics/digikam {/admin/ configure.in.in etc}
extragear/graphics/kst {/admin/ configure.in.in etc}

Then if a user or developer only wants one app, it can easily be checked out  
with one svn command and 150MB of other stuff doesn't come with it.  The only 
downside is that toplevel updates have to be propagated to each app.  This is 
a small amount of work and small price to pay for making extragear MUCH more 
useful.

If there are users who want to build whole subtrees, we could put a simple 
toplevel makefile that just recurses into subdirectories.
