		+	I also read that you wanted to know how long the build process takes
		+	for new comers. In that regard, I had a very hard and long time at
		+	first understanding the process of building trunk besides my stable
		+	KDE. I tried building it several times, but every time it gave some
		+	compilation errors in different pieces of codes. This was may be
		+	because of wrong bashrc that I used for settings the env variables for
		+	KDE_SRC and KDE_BUILD.
		+
		+	But after I got that clear (a friend helped me through), the cmakekde
		+	on kdesupport+kdelibs+phonon+kdebase took about an hour and a half,
		+	excluding the source-code download time (it took really long due to my
		+	slow internet connection).
		+
		+	Glad I could help! Considering the ENTIRE time, it took me about a
		+	month (I know its too long but I gave up every time it gave errors,
		+	and did not try again till a week or so) to setup KDE from trunk. And
		+	of course, I don't mind my response being put on the wiki if it helps.
		+	Actually, I just posted a small and simple walkthrough on my blog for
		+	building KDE from trunk beside the stable distro-provided KDE. Take a
		+	look, if it helps either,
