same for kdelibs-apidocs

There has to be a test performed, if the qt docs are installed or not - maybe
it's better to use an extra qtdocs ebuild again!?
Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-08 04:40:09 UTC 
The configure script will pick up if the docs are installed or not and act
accordingly.  I think this should be okay.

The dependencies have been removed.

o.k. , thanks for fixing this

The problem remains, that most users are not aware of these "weak", implicit
dependencies and report bugs, if they detect a related oddity (like the kdegames/kdeaddons
issue) - and they're not that wrong. Maybe in a future portage version, which
is able to resolve reverse dependencies.
