There's always the universal patch approach--if you check through
the old -meta eclass, they actually patched all the makefiles through it.

I do wonder . . .  There was a patch posted to the Trinity dev-list a while 
back that supposedly re-enabled other automounter backends (pre-HAL) 
in KDE3.  Tim rejected it on the grounds that he didn't want to replace
only parts of HAL piecemeal, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be
a usable stopgap measure.

Yeah, that was kind of frustrating.  At least it turned out to be a real
bug rather than a stupid mistake by one of us, though.

Good--I use x11-themes/tiblit on my main desktop, and do not
want to give it up if I can avoid it, buggy though it is sometimes.

If I don't get the git thing figured out over the next couple of days,
I'll stuff them into a zip file and email them to you.

Well, the metadata.xml has English, German, Spanish, Japanese,
Portugese, Italian, Polish and Dutch (I think "nl" is the code for
Dutch) as well as Vietnamese.  I wonder why no French . . . ?

The problem right now is that I can't get Portage to pass the appropriate
flags to the linker.  I'm doing what appears to be the correct thing
according to the documentation and examples I've found, 
(append-libs -lkdecore -lqt-mt) but the flags never reach their intended 
destination, and I am stumped as to why.  We may need to pass this to 
someone more experienced to get the last bit done.

Again, it can't hurt to look.
