I'm ready to start importing KDE 4 stuff, and plan to do this in the
following order:

1. Import prerequisites, including non-SC stuff that was moved out of
x11/kde4 in WIP: devel/automoc, productivity/akonadi, net/libktorrent
and such. Also import fresh kde4.port.mk to allow testing them. Do not
link them to build, they are useless without KDE itself anyway. Can do
this today.

2. Import the whole KDE SC 4.9.5 as x11/kde4. Can do this during a few
days after verifing it packages fine. BTW, Rafael, what's your
progress there?

3. Receive callback, fix bugs preventing from bulk builds. This should
take probably 4-5 days more.

4. Import some more KDE 4 ports, depending on KDE 4: editors/calligra,
editors/kile-kde4, graphics/digikam-kde4, net/ktorrent-kde4 etc. They
probably can be linked to build immediately, except Digikam and
Calligra maybe: those two take a lot of resources to compile (both
disk and CPU); much less than LibreOffice, though. :) Note that
kipi-plugins for KDE 4 is a subpackage of graphics/digikam-kde4.

Any objections or general thoughts? And a newbie question: what should
be explicitly reviewed? Note that x11/kde4 will contain almost hundred
of sub-ports. The most tricky part is kde4.port.mk.

Also, there is x11/kde4/kde-release-helper script in WIP tree. It is
not used in builds but I rely on it a lot to speed up KDE update
process. Should it be imported too?
