This one due to the KDE binding sitution is a bit sticky. I'm
guessing your biggest question is do we want the bindings combined
into the main package installation, or break it out into a separate
package. I sit on the fence. I like the way the SANE package is
(frontends and backends on the same set of instructions), but I
also like the way Gstreamer and the plugins are.

Let's see if others have comments. I don't really care either
way, but I can see it being a separate package for dependency
purposes. Kdelibs(?) calls for the D-Bus bindings package which
is dependent on the D-Bus package. Ditto other package that really
call the D-Bus bindings package, knowing that D-BUS must be installed
as well.

Your call. I'm building GNOME now too, so perhaps it would be good
to throw out what you have so far for D-BUS and HAL (I've already
installed D-BUS, but not HAL). That way, I'd use the new HAL
instructions you present and work from there. At least we'd both
be on the same page.

Good! Firefox and T-Bird, as well? :-)
