* Use qt2-designer-kde for a uic that understands KDE2 widgets.
* Fix problem noted by Marcello Balduccini <marcello.balduccini@ttu.edu>
in how kpgp handles pipes with child processes -- prevents kpgp from
remaining stuck while waiting for the child pgp process to terminate.
With apologies to Al I wouldn't know where to start with a summary of the
changes between 2.1 and 2.2.1 - there are just too many. A couple of
hopefully static URLS that contain useful information are

Support for a.out for kde{libs,base} added by me. The libtool/a.out
combination doesn't like the linking of modules into binaries. A better
way of doing this will appear in future versions of KDE/pkgsrc.
