Did that work good in KDev3? If not why should it work better in KDev4
(I mean having a full copy of a library inside KDevelop source tree).
Also I don't think this is a very good idea, because I think we should
ship svn+cvs plugin as part of our platform (else quanta users may need
to install kdevelop just to get svn support). And a full svn-qt lib in
our platform is not a good idea.

As I said in another thread already: Why do we need to re-invent the
wheel? We're short on manpower already, so we should try to re-use
existing libraries and code.
