We could move this up to a tier 4 library, which will be released as part of 
KDE SC, so that all KDE SC apps show the same version number.

For the frameworks themselves... well, it depends, actually. If they're 
released together with KDE SC then it makes sense that they have the same 
version number (and it will makes everything simpler of course).
But we have nowhere to share these numbers, since the goal is no common 
dependency. So at release time we'll have to increase the numbers of all the 
frameworks independently.
