This looks like KDE needs it.
Couldn'it also be interesting for gcc-people, since the compiler=20
creates the objects?

In the meantime it would be a good solution for distributors/packagers,=20
and since many people use rpm's or so, many people could have a faster=20
kde.

This is really worth thinking about!
