I think we all agree that keeping separated copies of the same library 
sparsed over the KDE tree is suboptimal. But if I could play devil's advocate 
for a minute, I'd like to point out that removing the library right now could 
be problematic. Some fixes, e.g. for Nokia, need to be done in KDChart 
itself, the current way (just having it embedded in KOffice) allows us to do 
so very rapidly without having to wait for a release in KDChart part. If we 
remove KDChart from the KOffice tree we would need to:
1)Wait for KDChart releases to fix bugs, which can slow down things. Or,
2)Depend on KDChart's trunk, which will likely have problems with 
distributions.
I would vote for keeping the copy in KOffice for the time being. Otherwise we 
could jeopardize responsiveness in bug fixing.
