I actually don't think that would work! I assume that kdelibs are
successfully installed on the target system. kdelibs know where every
part has to reside. For KDE1 you are stuck with the kde hierarchy
(/some/dir/kde/...). KDE2 is more flexible here but for 1 we need to
install in the kde dir. Of course we could put everything in an own dir
and create symbolic links for each file but I guess that wouldn't do
much good?

Also the variable KDEDIR must be set on the user system. That specifies
the root of the global kde hierarchy. KDE itself create a .kde in the
home dirs of the user. User specific data is put there without bibletime
caring about the path of it's data.
