I have a partially working plugin for XBase files. This needs two extra 
libraries, libxbase (http://www.startech.keller.tx.us/xbase.html) and xbsql 
(http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/xbsql.html). 

Is there a policy on this sort of requirement? Clearly the MySQL plugin needs 
MySQL but you'd hardly bundle that into KDE :-) But the XBase plugin gives 
database access with no extra user setup. xbsql could be bundled up in the 
plugin, but what about libxbase?
