It is possible and I will probably do so.  Trouble is I am not sure
exactly how to do that with Automake, so it may take some time to
implement.

I take it Slackware builds kdepim with the majority of the kresources
folder disabled?  Most of the resources in there are for enterprise use as
well; just curious if  the problem is merely the external dependency or if
it is directly related to the added functionality.
