  It would be nice if that could be eliminated too.  On the other hand, we 
actually have a very good candidate for kdesupport.  That being OpenSSL.  
Given how often it breaks BC we would be able to keep things constant by 
keeping a "supported" copy in kdesupport.   I guess it's a lot of work that 
no-one wants to deal with, but still it would be nice to not have to answer 
bug reports about SSL crashing all the time.
