Solid developers tell me the upnp support is not supported so there is
no benefit from building it, other than getting bug reports no one
wants to deal with anyway (i.e. unsupported). So we decided not to
build kdelibs with upnp support. Should this change in the future
we'll of course take a look at it.

Sometimes bugs slip through inboxes and no one ever notices, so it's
always appreciated when someone brings those lost souls up for review.
