I was unclear too :-(

The sense of my question is: say someone finds this ODF support code
is so great that they _must_ use it in their application but, for any
reason, do not need anything else at all from KDE: they only need the
ODF code, never mind if it's in kdelibs or kdebase. Is the code
written in such a way that it drags with it many more pieces from
kdelibs and/or kdebase? Or can it be used stand alone, with none or
really minimal external dependencies? That is, is it inside kdelibs
just because it's easier to package and distribute that way, or does
it actually need to link against half of kdelibs?

Thanks,
	Marco
