kdesrc-curses

Idea for homebrew-like kdesrc-build, I'll call it kdesrc-curses

Concepts

Scriptable: new program or module should be easily add. Simply add a new file and inherit some classes.
Dependencies: handling dependencies and remember it.
- Build-Depends: build-time dependency, could remove after installed
- Depends: won't run without this
- Recommends: could run without this, but very useless
- Suggests: will enhances with this
- Provides: a common name, to let other package abstract them. e.g. kate and kwrite provides text-editor, so other package need not to hard-code kate or kwrite, just use text-editor
Source: dependencies could come from a source tree or package repository
Interface: Like aptitude, ncurses-based, tree view, so you can tune configure options and select them
