The reason that the apps are shell scripts (actually, mine is Perl, but that's 
close enough) is probably because:

a) They can be run from cron.
b) They don't require Qt to already be installed, which means the script can 
be used to install qt-copy.

kdecvs-build is listed on developer.kde.org's Compiling KDE CVS page.  
kde-build is included in the kdesdk module of KDE CVS, and konstruct is 
listed on developer.kde.org for compiling KDE *releases* from source.

Just being listed on kde-apps.org doesn't mean an app is imported into 
KDE. ;-)  You can find kdecvs-build listed on kde-apps.org for example.
