Hi!

I might be wrong, but it seems there is no other way to change the  
defaults than redefining legalnotice in custom XSL (at least my  
experiments does not give any hints on this) and meinproc4 with the  
default cmake rules always generates HTML using kdelibs defaults.

Thomas Friedrichsmeier found the similar problem with the defaults:

It may happen that he can find the solution.

Best regards,
Yuri
