This is for GUI interface designers that can embed to KDevelop.

Widgets were historically unrelated to libkdevelop. 
IMHO extras and widgets are on their own to reduce the amount of
recompilation/relinking necessary in KDevelop source tree.

Property editor is not really the part of KDevelop. kdelibs would be
probably the better place. Anyways, it's useful standalone

This is useful only for language support plugins. No need to link
everything else with those.
