is imlib2 is require by libkdcraw ? (:=))), well  no...

remember than the libkdcraw return a QImage with the embedded preview
picture from RAW file. The image data are converter to a imlib2 image
container to be stored in the imlib2 cache.

I recommend you to remove the imlib2 depency now, if you can of course...
It's more clean and very easy to do. The cache implementation is already
done in OpenGL viewer. Just adapt the imlib2 interface from Slideshow to use
Qt implementation instead imlib2 and that all...
