kdesupport rearrangement

[Benoit Jacob]

There are a couple of issues with svn external...

AFAIK relative svn externals (like "../../path") are only handled by
SVN client >= 1.5

absolute svn externals are a pain, they have to point to anonsvn which
causes several issues, e.g. svn:// blocked by firewalls.

I'm not an expert though!

Cheers,
Benoit
