Add optional cmake check for kdebase-runtime

[diederik]

Based on the experiences in this topic: http://www.kmess.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3307 I think we need to add another check for 'kdebase-runtime'. Ubuntu splits out their packages in such a way that:

• a phonon backend is not installed.
• kdebase-runtime is not installed (which includes knotify, servicetypes/phonon.desktop, khelpcenter etc on openSUSE).

I think a check for a file in kdebase-runtime should be enough; the dependencies of this package should be set properly by Ubuntu.

This check can be optional; after all KMess can compile properly without kdebase-runtime. However, making a notice of the missing kdebase-runtime package should make users aware of why their sound is not working (and avoid more questions about this).

cmake check for kdebase-runtime

I've implemented a check for kdebase-runtime but figured it shouldn't be implemented at cmake level at all. This is annoying for build servers. Instead we should add some runtime checks in C++ at KMess startup. Much like the way we check for the kmess.notifyrc file.

btw to add this check, the following line is also needed in CMakeLists.txt:

SET( CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake )

Is this what you meant?

Ok now: Milestone 2.0 or 2.1 ? ;)

That patch seams cool, and delaying this update is fine with me :)

Ok, and also, the string freeze wouldn't appreciate the dialog box! Moving to 2.1
