Slow start I see. ;-)

Good to hear all that. Apparently we didn't get a legion of people showing up, 
so indeed not many people were needed to staff.

Agreed.

Well, I really think it should build at all time. For this particular circular 
dependency issue which keeps popping up and confusing people, I think we 
should just force the optional dependency to off in plasma. Opinions?

Agreed. Any taker?

Well, I'm not sure we can get to a point where they're could be simpler tasks. 
We already have fairly easy ones like chasing the Q_WS_* use... And yes it 
goes to more complicated tasks but that's to be expected in our crown jewels.

Thanks a lot for the extra insight!
