There is no "expectations", I stated an If, THEN premise -- I am asking 
the question.

HOWEVER, it is still true that if Soprano in TRUNK is now dependent on 
Qt-4.4.0 Beta that the build system for KDESupport TRUNK should check 
for this dependency.  Probably the build system for KDE-4.0 BRANCH 
should also check for the correct Qt version if it is not supposed to be 
built against >= Qt-4.4.0 but rather Qt-4.3.3.

This continues to become a larger and more complicated issue. :-(

IIUC, there is no KDESupport 4.0.x.  How to build KDE 4.0.x seems to be 
missing from:

	http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started

and this:

http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Generic#kdesupport

clearly says to use:

	https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport

But, I was already aware that these directions were not 100% correct.

Are we trying to keep this a secret? :-)

I will figure it out, but instructions are needed.

I also find that KDESupport will not uninstall which further complicates 
the matter.
