I can absolutely promise you that you will do no such thing. The software will not compile successfully without qtspeech installed. You are, of course, welcome to fork / modify the C++ codebase to make it not use qtspeech -- or make it accept an option to disable such -- and even propose that patch to the KDE project. If KDE accepts it, Gentoo could then add a USE flag for it... -- Eli Schwartz
