Yes, I don't know why we have to switch to unsermake. kdebindings has always 
been difficult to build, and now it's harder.

I get a warning for that source on line 229 - is that the same one? The code 
for that method is hard wired into kalyptus as a special case, and so it 
should be easy to fix.

Yes, the code shouldn't be in the svn, but I've never had the time to do it - 
a week of autohell or whatever. This version of the bindings was supposed to 
be a temporary measure before I got round to doing some using Dynamic Proxies 
and the Smoke library instead of JNI. But I haven't the time to switch to the 
proxy version, maybe not until KDE 4 now.
