The GPL's a fine license, I don't see why we should banish GPL libs.
After all, kdesupport is just support libs, not part of KDE itself.
Commercial developers are free to use/not use these. If it isn't used,
sure go ahead and axe it.

I tried configuring with this recently, it gave a warning suggesting you
use another js library. So, perhaps we either put that other one in?
Configure pointed to something like www.ngs.fi if I recall correctly,
but at the time that wasn't resolving...
