This will download binary source diffs against a previous release. So if you have the kdelibs-3.4 tar ball it will just get the delta tar ball that will contain the binary diff from kdelibs-3.4->kdelibs-3.5 CFLAGS are irrelevant here. It can save you a lot of bandwidth if the delta exists.

But I'm easily scared :P Well kde 3.5.1 is probably one of the most solid releases in a while. 3.5 had some issues, but so far 3.5.1 seems almost as mature as 3.4.4 was.
