[PyKDE] PyKE Update 20030812

[Jim Bublitz]

I promised another PyKDE release to fix the kfile module problem 
and a couple of other minor problems. I've run into one problem 
compiling against KDE 3.1.3 AND Qt 3.2.0 - Qt 3.2.0 seems to be 
required for the problem to occur. As soon as I get that 
resolved and run some other test builds just to be sure I'll 
have a release - might be a few days.

In the meantime (waiting for compiles to finish) I've been 
testing Hans-Peter Jansen's build.py modifications and doing a 
few final cleanups pulling out KDE2 and tmake related stuff. 
I've also added version testing for sip, the PyQt lib installed, 
and the PyQt sip files installed. This should insure more 
reliable builds (it will catch version mismatch errors, which 
seem to the biggest problem lately), but it will require that 
all versions (sip, PyQt, PyKDE) match - so for example a 
situation like building PyKDE-3.7 against sip/PyQt-3.6 won't be 
possible without hacking build.py (not very hard, and I can tell 
you how to do it if necessary). This version of build.py also 
allows you to run make as a user instead of as root for any 
builds, and it has all of Pete's patches for SMP, 'install' to 
an arbitrary directory option, split concatenated files, and 
other stuff (Thanks, Pete!). 

I'm not able to test all of the patches, but as far as I can 
tell, they look very good and Pete's cleaned up the file quite a 
bit too.

I'm not sure if build.py will make the next release or the one 
after.
