First that the kplato guys stated some time ago what they need a charting 
engine for, and its more formula driven than data driven. Meaning kchart is 
not really what they need.
Just writing a QWidget with a custom paintEvent will have better effect, 
faster.

Second, a little off topic, I think you missed a lot of details on how to 
integrate kchart with flake ;)  No need to move sources to libs, for example.
There are some docs for you to read when you get to that point ;)

Thanks for your in-depth answer, though!
