I don't know anything about digikam dependencies, but in case you haven't 
actually tried this, yet: Don't write off this option too soon. I was quite 
sceptical of this approach, myself, for RKWard. But then I gave it a try, and 
a full installation of kdebase, R, and RKWard can all be packaged into a 130 
MB self-extractor (*). True, that's not exactly small, but it's managable. And 
in fact it's considerably less than all single downloads (including the 
packages downloaded by the kde-windwos installer) combined.

Looking at our download numbers, this installation bundle is considerably more 
popular than the rkward-only installer (which installs RKWard on top of an 
existing installation of KDE and R), despite the fact that the latter offers 
more flexibilty.

(*) Package using 7-zip. kdebase and its dependencies take up roughly 100MB of 
this.
