Actually my idea was: we could support installing kdelibs3 and kdelibs4 into the same
prefix, if we move most helper binaries to libexec/kde4.

Of course not more than kdelibs3 and kdelibs4; debian users will have to choose between
kdebase3 and kdebase4, others can use different prefixes. But at the library level we could do it.
