KDE hasn't been ELFed yet and is installing the libraries with the wrong
name.  lconfig just needs some tweaking.

I emailed se@freebsd.org volunteering to make the necessary changes.
I'd hack it for myself but it's time-consuming, just to have someone do
the change properly.  

I can't use OBJFORMAT either, since libgif is hard-wired ELF.
