Purpose of "buildtools" .so and .la files

Hi Jens and thanks for answering!

Any idea why these files are in /usr/lib as opposed to all the other 
plugins that live in /usr/lib/kde3 ?

The strange thing is that when I remove the files, KDevelop still seem 
to behave the same, I am able to create/open/import automake managed 
projects just fine! I haven't yet tried for qmake project but I'll give 
it a try.
