Actually, it's %configure these days. Or, if that is broken for the
particular RPM, ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix}. Standardization :p

They were compiled that way, because cooker no longer contains kde1 (and
neither will mdk 7.2). We do have kde1 compatibility packages for those
non-kde2 compliant apps.

I understand where you're coming from. KDE2 *is* beta, and lots of pieces
of it crash fairly regularly (kcontrol is segfaulting at startup right now).

You may be able to convince Chris to package some that way, but he's been
very busy lately just keeping on top of the CVS snapshots.

lol. He probably had problems building the latest kdetoys. It's better to
not release it than release it in an unusable state.
