Well, this only helps if the user has already set KDEDIRS and also won't
help with finding new plugins. So its basically useless for us as those are
the two cases that people have problems with. IMHO running kbuildsycoca4
once after setting up KDEDIRS properly is much less of a problem then
getting KDEDIRS right in the first place.
