use -P (prune) when checking out kde modules. Otherwise, these aren't the
only empty dirs you'll find... one of cvs's limitations is that it can't
remove dirs without losing the history for the files they once contained.
-P is kind of a workaround for this.

Hopefully someday we will have subversion or something to eliminate this CVS
shortcoming.
