That is true, but from my understanding it is relevant for the user
of the ktoblzcheck library only. So for KF5 based applications using
the library such dependency is OK, others will have to use different
mechanism.

In case such dependencies exist, you can make them optional using
cmake commands (e.g. find_package(KF5)) and don't build them if KF5
is not found. That should be the same for different environments, e.g.
GTK may provide other ways and dependencies that should not be build
in case the library is build in an environment that does not have GTK.

I hope the above makes some sense. Maybe, Ralf can has some more
ideas here which he can share.

I will be traveling all day long, so answers will take a bit longer
today.
