Hi, I just lately understood how kde configuration works (at least I hope 
so).  I will describe how I understand it, and the question will come in the 
very end :-)

So in the main directory there resides only some very necessary files that 
you could not move into admin without hurting the whole thing.
The real stuff is in admin. Makefile.cvs uses the stuff in admin to generate 
a configure file.

So in general, what you will want to do, is to use an admin directory which 
is in relation with the KDE version you're running. So, why is the admin 
directory not installed automatically into $KDEDIR/share/admin ?? in this 
case, you could just use a Makefile.cvs that links to this one admin 
directory. You would never get out of sync with your current kde version when 
building some soft.

Of course, for people who like to tweak and for people who crosscompiling you 
will need some Makefile.cvs option like CREATE_SYMLINK=false or something 
like that.

What do you think?
