Darrell, All,

  For all these minor apps, I've opened:

R14 Broken Packages (minor apps) - future fix or delete?
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1944

  As noted in the bug description the broken packages should be considered in
connection with:

Directories to be Removed from the TDE Git Tree
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1937

  The current apps included as build but broken in 1944 are:

kasablanca
kftpgrabber
kmymoney (referencing bug 1942)

  I don't use any of these applications, but they either need to be tracked for
fixing in 14.0.1 (bug 1944) or listed as a candidate for deletion (bug 1937). I
don't care which bug any of the packages ultimately end up in, but they need to
be tracked, packages need to know their status, and a educated decision made to
"keep or kick" the packages.

  I have cross-referenced 1937 and 1944 in bug tracker.

  Add building but broken packages to 1944, add candidates for deletion to 1937.
When it is time to make the decision on all packages, we will probably need to
combine both bugs into 1. Sort out which will be fixed and delete the rest from
the Git tree.
