I'd have some other personal commitments later in the day... maybe that could 
happen one hour later though. Would that work for you?

Woops, ok, my bad then. Glad you looked I got through that line several times 
without seeing the problem. :-)
Fixing it right away.

Sounds good we don't particularly use them.

Agreed. I think it'd be much better than the current ECMMark* macros which 
don't buy us much.

I guess that once we're happy with the cleanup pass that's something which 
could be done.

Well, it's mostly about the find_package calls I think. The list is quite 
extensive and I think it tries to find much more than it needs, the most 
likely culprit being the use of KDELibs4 which itself forces you to pull 
everything (see the growing list of find_package(KF5 ...)? it's forced by 
KDELibs4 apparently).
