It still seems to work with ash, although I didn't do any extensive
testing.

It would, that's one of the reasons I put it on sourceforge. I've been
looking at the KDE build way recently, and I can't really make much
sense of it. Part of the problem is that they have every macro
they use in a huge aclocal.m4. But they don't seem to have a seperate
macro for each lib, they just export the flags for every library every
time. This works since everything is in kde-libs anyway. So I doubt
they'll be interested :(
