Kdevelop doesn't use kate directly. It uses the KTextEditor classes from
kdelibs and loads the katepart library dynamically during the startup. How
exactly this works in kde3, I don't know. There's a .desktop file for
libkatepart somewhere, KLibLoader or something like that from kdelibs is
involved and also the KDEDIRS variable is used to find out from where to
load libkatepart.
