I am a developer, and I like the idea of 'sdk' use flag.

It hit me once, that after emerging kde-meta I was missing some packages.
I was expecting that kde-meta would fetch me all the kde programs.

Now I know the description says "KDE - merge this to pull in all
non-developer packages", but it would be _so_ _easier_ to
make kde-meta pull kdesdk-meta, when the 'sdk' use flag is set.
