Yup.

KDEDIR is depreciated.

Uh no. The prefix is also used by the configuration script to figure out
where the kdelibs were installed to. From configure:
ac_default_prefix=${KDEDIR:-/usr/local/kde}
[...]
includedir='${prefix}/include'
[...]
echo $ac_n "checking for KDE""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:4014: checking for KDE" >&5
if test "${prefix}" != NONE; then
kde_includes=${prefix}/include
ac_kde_includes=$prefix/include

Yes, KDE scatters too many things too many places to really be a good fit
in /usr/local/kde. Plus putting it in its own directory makes for easy
removal and switching between versions of KDE.

In my car, on my clutch
But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you.
