Sorry for being a bit pedantic, but just in case there's any room for
misunderstanding...

kdenetwork (I don't know about other modules, but there may be others)
doesn't have any libraries at all within it (unlike the libkdegames
library used in multiple places throughout kdegames). It is simply 5
totally unconnected applications put together in a module.
