Ok. For just one module, I felt no need to recommend the use of a
building script, but will change to tell the reader that it can!

Yes, they are empty on purpose. I will add the comment.

OK, I will update the guide to reflect that. I guess I can add
stop-on-failure just to kdelibs and arts, where it makes more sense.

Thanks for your comments, and for kdesvn-build. And BTW, I still owe you
that man page!

Next step: updating the doc-primer. This Subversion thingie better be
worth it!
