Why without the help of kdesrc-build?

It's tied for a great deal with the tooling. Right now we're lacking in that 
department for sure. Still that shouldn't stop us from working in the proper 
direction for those tools to come (I'm mainly thinking about inqlude, and 
kdesrc-build which is getting more features... you also even hinted at 
something named superbuilds in the past, but can't really recall the details).

For the record, I've been playing with some scala based pet project lately. In 
great part to see what happens in other ecosystems. And the dependencies 
management there is truely impressive[*], there's lessons to be learned in my 
opinions and a clear direction for improvement.

Regards.

[*] That's JVM based project, but in the pure javascript/node.js based world 
the picture is about the same.
