Thumbs up!

I totally understand. I think tomahawk guys should be really grateful for you
cleaning up their buildsystem & more clean-up work.

Well-spent time. Don't we already depend on libattica? No, it seems not, but
by kdelibs 4.9.3 unconditionally depend on libattica >= 0.1.90, so this one
shouldn't hurt much.

Good. I think most distros (for sure those Debian-based) will build the whole
player, but split the resulting binary package into lib and player. Would it
be possible?

Thanks for the update! Don't get discouraged by realizing things need much
more work, it's always like this.
