does yawp actually _link_ to the ions? or does it just load them as DataEngine
plugins at runtime?

aside from kmess and ktorrent, these are things that are released together.
that they share such libraries is property of the SC release paradigm. it's
not a bad thing. what is bad is that software outside of the SC does
similarly, in part because we install headers so people can build modules
separately.
perhaps we need a "internal to KDE SC" header install location?
