If you're asking whether you should set USE_LDCONFIG anyway, then the
answer is yes.

I suspect that those files the application installs might actually belong
in ${PREFIX}/lib/kde3 rather than ${PREFIX}/lib ... if that is the case
though, it's an application bug that can be sorted out by the developers
of the application later and shouldn't keep you from submitting the port.
