and b) Kbabel/Lokalizer is normally in kdesdk anyway.

Do you mean that this wouldn't have happened, had I chosen the
non-developer flavour?

A Windows registry thing? Wonder if it's possible to do away with
registry and/or forced installations, making things more like portable apps.

Thanks Ralf and Christian for confirming.

...which isn't in this package. Off to look for how to get that, then,
let's see if I'd need to get the sources and compile it.
