Well, in theory you could do that, because KSettings::Dialog allows to
specify a list of component names to load. That is already used to not
load qmake kcm for cmake projects (see ProjectControllerPrivate).

However I've already thought a couple of times that KSettings::Dialog
might not be flexible enough for our needs for project configuration. So
maybe we need to write our own dialog, but I don't think we should drop
kcm's as well. We may just need to expand their .desktop files a bit to
carry some more information.
