I will change the current CMakeLists.txt to only build ktexteditor if one 
explicitly requests it (like -DBUILD_KTEXTEDITOR=1) and document that for 
people wanting standalone kate.git development on older kdelibs).
This would avoid problems for any non-kate developer or packager with 
conflicting installed stuff.

I have no problem with that be done today. And I don't oppose the location, am 
fine with it.
