I tried to build KDE and got an error in strigi, which I posted on 12-09, and 
got no answer. Building from source (in the normal place, not doing a bulk 
build) takes a long time, because it often stops in a dependency, because 
"bmake replace" in the main package doesn't cause "bmake replace" in the 
dependency.
