Is it a good idea to start supporting (if it is not already somewhat 
supported) a kdecore-only option (or --without-gui) in kdelibs after 3.1?

If we can make sure that kdecore (and kio?) can be compiled stand-alone, 
people will be use KConfig, KIO, KDirLister, KURL etc etc in a non-X 
environment more easily, such as a server. I'd love to standarise some server 
projects on KConfig but as of now the best I can get on my server is Qt/E. 
I'm confident I could strip down kdelibs to compile certain parts, but I 
think it would be better if we tried to officially make kdecore (as 
development platform) available.

KDE adds a lot of functionality and convenience which is also useful without 
the widgets and desktop GUI stuff.
