Sorry if it took so long to reply, but I have very limited time now to work 
on kdedb :(.

Unless someone (like Michael Koch for instance) can take up the maintenance 
of kdedb, I'd say leave it out. The library is quite useable now, but lacks a 
fundamental feature for kde: no private d pointers, and no real work to keep 
binary compatibility.

and BTW, there should be a check in every project depending on kdedb, to 
avoid compilation if kdedb isn't installed. I will try to take a look just to 
see if someone removed these checks.

bye
