Since these libs are not KDE-based, then they probably don't belong in 
extragear.
And we are so close to the release.. I'm afraid to muck too much with things 
right now.

If the packages are willing to go along with the KDE release schedule,
then I think they should stay in kdesupport.  If they want a completely
different schedule then we need to do something else.

In the case of qca, Justin makes it pretty clear that version 2.0.0 is what
they expect people to use in KDE4.0.0.  So... I think the best thing to do is:
 1) remove qca from the kdesupport/CMakeLists.txt
 2) change the build instructions to say that qca should be installed from
      distribution packages or from source code
 3) leave the rest of kdesupport as is
