carsten says it should work without having to do that. i've had some problems 
with it but recently not too many.

yeah... i'm trying to force-add kparts to the required libraries of 
libumbrello2 and it's just not picking it up. i'm going to go insane. oh 
well... all in good fun.

i've basically decided to rewrite the plugin stuff to use KParts::Plugin. it's 
pretty lightweight so it should be fine. instead of having Umbrello::Plugin 
derive from QObject, it derives from KParts::Plugin (which is why i'm trying 
ot link the damn library). arg!!! because of how kparts are loaded, i'm going 
to have to reconsider the plugin protocol. it should actually be alot simpler 
now. of course, i'll have to make some considerations on gui vs. non-gui 
apps. we don't want to load ui stuff if there's no UI :)
