I think this is a very good idea! However, I would propose one change:
How about we add a directory 'guests' where one can optionally place
libkexiv2, libkdcraw, etc., if one wants to compile them along with
digikam, and then digikam can use the versions in 'guests' instead of
the system-supplied ones. This would make it easier for users to compile
digikam, because they just checkout digikam, go to guests directory,
checkout libkexiv2, libkdcraw, and compile digikam along with them.

Michael
