 I originally wanted to have just one set of macros for all build 
repositories, where these versions would be a problem, but I've already 
figured that wouldn't work, so this can be handled per build repository with 
the right version numbers.

 Still, I think the < shouldn't be there. Old KDE apps should work with newer 
KDE base libraries.

 I wanted to have a separate package with just the macros, to make it simple, 
I didn't know the directories didn't matter. But right now I still don't know 
how to solve the problem of using the same macros in all build repositories. 
Something for opensuse-buildservice@ I guess.
