Is it necessary to distribute kdesupport, kdelibs and kdebase separately?

I think that, for a regular user, it is not so easy to remember that, to get
a minimal KDE running, qt-1.42 + kdesupport + kdelibs + kdebase are required
and that they must be built (or rpm-installed) in that order.

Yes, there is a readme, but wouldn't be much better to give the opportunity
to download a single file kde.tgz, containing the above files, and a build-all
script that does the job?

I guess that can be a problem for Qt due to licensing issues, but at least
we can unify support,libs,base.
