Also in German.  But not in the Scandinavian countries. The name comes 
from the old Norse god Ing, who was definitely male. I have no idea what 
the origin of the German/Dutch name is, though. :)

No, this is wrong. It builds against kdelibs 4.13 (at least, I'm 95% certain 
that it does). However, you do need libkdeedu 4.14. For Parley 4.14.1 or 
later you also need libkdeedu 4.14.1 or later since we added some calls 
which we use.
