Unfortunately, yes :(

I moaned about the same thing yesterday in an IM session with Alvaro. I 
approached the problem (at least the trouble it causes) by removing the build 
dependency to kmymoneysettings.*

In fact there is a third module that has the same problem: 
mymoneystoragesql.cpp

Guess this is my task for today, a sunny one while I am sitting on my porch :)
