time).

Is there a chance of having a libtool with pruning support for KDE 4,
even if upstream does not integrate it in time? IOW, would you be
willing to accept a patch early in the KDE 4 development cycle?
The --as-needed feature is marked as experimental by upstream, or so I
am told, and although this will presumably change in the future, there
may be reasons that force some distribution not to use it, so it'd be
great to have a second method to remove spurious dependencies from
binaries.

And don't get me wrong - I don't mind getting proven wrong. I change my
opinions the way some people change underwear. And I think that's ok.
