I thought you wanted to keep "sharing the same area across different libraries, which \
is something we do a lot in Calligra"?

So we should be fine if we configure KF5 to put its headers in, say, \
/opt/local/include/kf5 instead of just /opt/local/include like KDE4 does (in \
MacPorts)? (Or we'd have to re-organise KDE4 too so it puts its headers into \
/opt/local/include/kde4, to prevent accidental confusion ...)

It's surprising though that KF5 wasn't conceived to avoid this kind of name clashing \
, e.g. by putting the kde4support headers in a subdirectory and inciting devs to \
change their #include statements to add that path (#include <kde4support/kfoo.h> \
instead of #include <kfoo.h>).
