I don't understand that - all the dependency checks are in if() clauses
that mean they are only looked for when built in split mode.  So the
problem must have been during a split build.

If we can't track down what the exact error was, we at least need to
test the changes with cmake 2.8.12.0 (and not the lastest git version,
as I expect most of us are using via kdesrc-build).

I'm building the v2.8.12 tag, and I'll try to test some frameworks with
removed transitive dependency checks (probably tomorrow, realisticly).
In the meantime, please don't commit any removals of these checks
without testing using 2.8.12.0.
