Don't worry; svn is always in flux and changes can be made continuously. 
Use the inertia!

I think I formulated my question wrong, then. I don't doubt we want such a 
shape at all; I doubt we want to base it on a QPrinterPath.
I discussed the item with psd on IRC yesterday and we came to the 
conclusion that we will have to look at this at a later time when karbon 
code can be ported.  So we can remove the implementation of KoPathShape 
and replace it with Karbon code.

Its a direct copy; so yes.  It goes something like this:

cd sources/kde4
cd flake
mv lib lib-orig
ln -s ../koffice/libs/flake lib
cp lib-orig/lib.pro lib/
qmake
make
