[pkg-kde-talk] kdevelop3 : updating libtool scripts

You bet, there is a huge number of Makefile.am's to patch. To make 
things somewhat easier, I have written a Perl (attached) that parses 
the errors that occur during a build and looks up symbols to figure out 
the needed libraries (the rules are specified in the script).

I invoke it like this:

<yourproject>/obj-i486-linux-gnu$ make -k 2>&1 | ~/find-missing-libs.pl

The output looks like this:

------
In directory 
`/home/sharky/tmp/kdevelop3-3.3.0/obj-i486-linux-gnu/parts/fileselector':
libkdevfileselector.la needs :
  $(LIB_QT) $(LIB_KDECORE) $(LIB_KDEUI) $(LIB_KPARTS) $(LIB_KIO) -lktexteditor
libkdevfileselector.la unknown undefined references :
  locateLocal(char const*, QString const&, KInstance const*)
  qInstallMsgHandler(void (*)(QtMsgType, char const*))

<snip>

In directory 
`/home/sharky/tmp/kdevelop3-3.3.0/obj-i486-linux-gnu/languages/perl':
libkdevperlsupport.la needs :
  $(LIB_QT) $(LIB_KDECORE) $(LIB_KDEUI) $(LIB_KIO)
kio_perldoc.la needs :
  $(LIB_QT) $(LIB_KDECORE)
------

Note : - libraries are listed in the order they are specified in $all_libs.
- "unknown undefined references" means that there is no rule in 
$all_libs to figure out the missing library
- this script is work in progress!

Cheers,
Jeremy
