  in order to speed up the compilation of kde, upstream provide an
option --enable-final, that make the compilation be roughly equivalent
to :

  cat *.cpp > all.cpp; gcc all.cpp

  that speeds up the compilation a bit, and produce equivalent binaries.
though, that doesn't allways work, and the patch for kopete breaks this
compilation option.  so we have to locally disable it.

  so this is nothing harmfull
