Thanks for the advice. I've been working on a Distutils based solution. I've 
now figured out subclasses to:

* Check for a working PyQt and PyKDE install.
* Check Qt and KDE versions.
* Install kde specific data (ok it's a new install_data command that uses 
KDE's install prefix by default. Detects if needed).
* An uninstall command.

If anyone wants a copy let me know (under GPL). The code is basically all 
there, but it probably should catch more exceptions etc, be fully tested...

cheers,
