The first release of Kolf will most definitely be with KDE/kdegames 4.4. Until 
then, a better solution than svn:externals should be available. For now, we 
could also change KoProperty into a static lib, and not install the library 
and its headers, in order to avoid conflicts? (Is KoProperty used anywhere 
outside Kexi at the moment?)

svn:externals is not a copy. It is a special property for a subdirectory of an 
SVN repository, that tells SVN to checkout this part of the repository from 
some other repository (and commit changes to there also). Much like a symlink.

The obvious places would be kdelibs, or kdesupport if the library becomes Qt-
only. We could also try to get it merged into Qt, if the Qt guys are 
interested in it.
