Kdelibs4 *should not* depend on Nepomuk/Soprano and all that schmear,
but it does. It is a chain of dependencies that has caused grief to many,
including MacPorts. It should disappear shortly, as KDE's new indexing
software, Baloo, enters KDE 4 and the future KF 5.

If you can fool one dependency chain or another into coniformity with the
others re ODBC, well and good. It is not as though Nepomuk/Soprano has
any value or is ever used on Apple OS X, which already has Spotlight and
has had it for about 9 years.
