+
+Common Mistakes
+---------------
+
+If configure claims Qt cannot be found, have a look at http://www.trolltech.com
+to get a copy of latest Qt 3.3.x version.
+
+Debugging
+---------
+
+You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have
+debug code in your KDE apps and libs.  If debugging is not a concern,
+--disable-debug will explicitly avoid compiling additional debugging
+functions.
+
+More Info
+---------
+
+Have a look at the individual subdirectories, if you want to know, what
+versions of apps are included.
