Hellow fellow developers!

As you may have noticed I have been working on kde4.7 update in devel-kde47 branch 
quite a while now. And it is more or less finished. But there are some problems. The 
reason for problems is that we install kde4 in /opt/kde4 and due to that reason some thing 
aren't find correctly. So basicly I only have problems that would simply go away if we 
install kde4 in $INSTALL_ROOT/. 

>From what i know we install kde4 in /opt/kde4 so users can have both versions of kde 
instaled (kde3 and kde4). I think now that kde4 is fully operational, there is no such user 
that would have both versions of kde installed. Either he stayed on kde3 or already 
migrated to kde4. 

So I purpose that we move kde4 to /. The way we do that is another question. ATM i have 
2 paths:
* we move kde4 to / and kde3 to /opt/kde3. But that would be pain in the ass. Lots of 
testing with old qt3 and other things that I am NOT prepared to do.
* we move kde4 and add CONFLICTS to main spells of kde4 and kde3 (kdelibs, kdebase 
and few more) (This one would be quite easy and in my opinion would be the best 
solution with least headaches.)

If no one has any objections I will try to move next version of kde to / in devel-kde47 
branch and then if everything is okay merge it with master. The next release of the kde 
will probably be around 1st september. 

Kind regards, Bor
