This issues are covered here, including the choice of what to build:

http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/

I don't believe there is another guide that covers the subject so
extensively. I guess this list is a good place to ask for information, if
you face any problems.

Indeed, there are some very stable applications with old docs. For these,
an update in the docs based on KDE 3.2 instead of KDE HEAD brings very
little disadvantages. A list of such applications could be useful. I know
that KNode and KNotes can be considered to be in this category.
