That's the problem left. acinclude.m4.in is currently licensed LGPL, so
we
can't simply put autoconf macros there. We could think of relicensing,
but
I first want to work on different solutions to get our KDE_OUTPUT
working.
After all _requiring_ perl isn't that a bad option - the FSF doesn't
want
to require perl as it's not their code, but that doesn't need to hinder
KDE.
