 mDNSResponder and libthai are small leaf dependencies which provide important 
 features to kdelibs to those who need them and which cannot be added by a 
 binary plugin later. We deem the small overhead (2 mb source code for 
 mDNSResponder and libthai combined or 1 mb for the mDNSResponder + libthai 
 binary packages combined) acceptable for everyone and not worth adding 
 additional complexity to the port.
