kdegames will decrease in size somewhat for 3.1, when we switch from .wav to
.ogg in the distribution. See the 3.1 feature plan.

It is still huge though, I wonder why.

Agreed, that would make sense. On the other hand, it doesn't solve the
problem mentioned: some users want one tetris game, not three; and one card
game, not three. So in our scenario they would still need to get *everything*
in order to hav a diverse game listing and they would still have several
dups.

And where would you put libkdegames? :-)

Yes, that I do support wholeheartedly. :-)
