I can explain what happens, but not yet why :) This happens if you build
kdelibs with a recent build of cmake cvs, for some reason the CMake
function export_library_dependencies puts "general" into the
KDELibsDependencies.cmake file which is generated during the kdelibs
build and is used to fill the KDE4_XXX_LIBS variables.

There's also another bug in CMake CVS which prevents it from adding the
needed -L switches to the linker calls, so currently CMake CVS is broken
and can't build kde4. I've already notified the cmake list, but I
suspect the cmake devs will only read it tomorrow.
