I left out the points why splitting is a benefit and collected only 
those small problems arising with splitting ;-)

Summing up yours and Ian's answer, we could setup a super repo for convenience 
of building the whole module, with some technical solution to pull in the 
split repos, but require the modules to build standalone.

Brings two more questions:

a) should CMake modules be moved up to kdelibs or down to the submodule that 
needs them?
b) Would  the super-repo be associated with the KDE/kdegraphics project on 
projects.kde.org, or what place and name would it have?
