manual compilation and package management

[Imre Tuske]

The two reasons are update and optimization. I'd like to have KDE 3.5, and
want to compile it for my CPU, as it is said to produce noteable difference.
There's a 3.5 update published on the Kubuntu site somewhere (the link
points to Jonathan Riddell's home dir), but I had some minor issues with
that (a small kicker UI refresh problem, and changes to some kcontrol
settings don't work).

But your suggestion is indeed a good one... I'll just need to find
some 3.5source packages, then.
