compiling one program, not all, from a source package

[Rohan Garg]

Hi Donatas
If I understand this correctly, the patch has already made it upstream, so
you can just install Project Neon to test out the patch. Projecet Neon will
give you a entire trunk build of KDE which is quite helpful in testing new
features and bug fixes. You can find more info here [1] [2]
