One of these is that the tar.gz packages it produces are some\n500kB smaller, which makes a huge difference for <a href=\"http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=28995\">kfile_chemical</a> which is\nnow 121kB instead of 635kB.</p>\n\n<p>Now, the <a href=\"http://www.kde.org/\">KDE</a> community, or Thomas Nagy to be precise, developed a helper for KDE software, called\n<a href=\"http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=19243\">bksys</a>. Version 1.5.1, however, did not contain an example directory for kfile\nplugins, but I managed to work something out starting from the configuring scripts from <a href=\"http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12725\">kdissert</a>,\nand ended up with these <a href=\"http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/kfile_chemical/SConstruct?rev=479410&amp;view=log\">SConstruct</a> and\n<a href=\"http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/kfile_chemical/config.bks?rev=479414&amp;view=log\">config.bks</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Now, I haven’t figured out how to include the translations, but will figure that out sooner or later… for now, I’m quite happy with the new build system.</p>",
