I actually also don't see a problem with compiling it.
Also the smtp io slave could be compiled. Even if it is not used by any 
application inside of the CVS, maybe a third party developer might want to 
use the sasl library or the smtp io slave that will come with KDE 2.2.

Regarding the smtp slave I just have to note, that it compiles now with the 
new library, but I didn't test, if authentication works again. I have to look 
for an smtp server that requires authentication first.
Sending a mail should anyway be better done by calling a dcop function of 
KMail, but one never knows.

On the other hand we also have some other code in kdelibs which is not 
compiled by default.
I know at least of kio/tests. That is anyway something, that belongs to 
kdesdk IMHO.
