This makes sense and AFAIK is what is intended with frameworks, i.e. if a lib 
needs a binary, that binary and the lib should be shipped together

Not sure this bundling makes sense. KWalletManager is a tool that if i am a 
developer for Windows that wants to use the kwallet framework I don't need. 
Actually it's a utility a regular user should probably never need unless you 
use it to manually store stuff (I do) or you want to inspect what apps store 
(I do).

Of course I don't have much of a decision power on this but wanted to express 
my concerns ;-)

Cheers and congratulations for your new maintainership,
  Albert
