Hi,

I'd like to rename kde-config for KDE 4 to kde4-config.
This will avoid ambiguities. When calling "kde4-config ..." one will always 
get the information for KDE 4, not for KDE 3 because the KDE3 kde-config was 
earlier in the PATH.
We may run into even more issues if some distributions might decide to name 
the kde-config of KDE4 kde4-config, in order to be able to install it in the 
same dir as the KDE3 one.
This happens right now with qmake, in debian there is qmake, qmake-qt3 and 
qmake-qt4, and leads to a lot of trouble if you want to autodetect some 
version of Qt.
I'd like to avoid these issues completely by just naming it explicitely 
kde4-config.

Are there objections ?

Bye
Alex
