KDE 4.7.0 - ready for testing

Hi,

I made KDE 4.7.0 modules ready for install. They replace present kde4 in 
moonbase. Have a nice testing. Unpack to zlocal and go. :)
(here are not only strict kde base packages but some new modules and few 
updated which are required to make kde 4.7.0 working). For example with 
moonbase libmms kdenetwork build will break but with updated one it is 
fine.

kate module build breaks - do not know why. Probabely broken source code.
Some of applications were exported from kde packages to separate packages 
by kde developers. You have to lin -r kde4 profile to include them in 
build as new optional dependencies.

Unresolved Lunar issues which plagues KDE4.6 present in moonbase also 
makes problems with new kde470:
-if qt4 is build with phonon kde build will break because qt has too old 
phonon incompatibile with the one expected by kde sources. Build qt4 
without phonon before building kde4.
-before running kde4 lin qt4 with phonon or you will not get sound in kde.
KDE at runtime uses qt4's phonon plugin for system sound. Another issue 
when kde is running on qt4 without phonon plugin is short freezing and 
strange sounds from speakers. You do not have to build qt4 with pohonon. 
Just disable system sounds in KDE: K menu->Settings->System Settings icon-
>Application and System Notifications icon->Player Settings tab->No 
sounds.
-before running kde4 lrm ConsoleKit module or you will get freezing on 
every K menu access.

have a nice day,
Zbigniew Luszpinski
