Darrell,

  koffice was building perfectly -- until it hit:

  Looks like kis_png_converter.cc needs patching. I'll see if I can figure it
out based on the gwenview patch. I think that is all it needs.  If anyone is
good with this and can beat me to it, my hat is off to you.

  And wow - processor speed really makes a huge difference in build times. For
the packages I'm building on arch:

i686 build - old p4 2800

  Build time 462 min. ~ 7.7 hours

x86_64 build - newer (but old) 9850 X4

  Build time 224 min. ~ 3.7 hours

  Never really built projects this large before, but speed -- does matter :)
