Chugging along with KDE in amd64

[Adriaan de Groot]

[Thanks to all at amd64 - Peter, David in particular - for getting me
started with snapshots and whatnot.]

KDE as a desktop on amd64 works reasonably well, so far. It's certainly
snappy (even with an old matrox mill PCI card). Issues:

* linking libxkbfile.a to KDE stuff. This needs -fPIC when compiling
xkbfile, patch (for x11/XFree86-4-libraries) attached. I don't know if
-fPIC would negatively affect anything else though.

* knotify crashes immediately with SIGABRT.

* korganizer crashes on exit with gobs of malloc(): recursive call output.

A few 64-bit issues (no time_t in utmp entries) have been fixed in KDE CVS
now; I'll be reading my compile logs more closely the next little while to
see where else bad assumptions are made.
