Speaking as a packager, it would be simply great to provide individual
tarballs for some modules.

I care less about splitting kdelibs, kdepimlibs, and the
kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace modules. Modules like kdenetwork &
kdegames, which as someone put it earlier, are more like an aggregation
of projects, are a different matter though.  Those modules have a
relatively simple dependency tree in the module, and it shouldn't be too
much effort to split those up.

And yes, I'm prepared to help in this effort and I'm confident that I'm
not the only packager who is.
