Here's the nitty gritty:

----------
BACKGROUND
----------

kde-look.org is a site that hosts various kde themes to change the look and feel of the kde desktop.

---------
REASONING
---------

An eclass such as this would be benificial to users that want to create custom ebuilds for various kde themes, as well as getting popular kde themes into the portage tree.

----
TODO
----

1) get the general skeletal eclass file going
2) work with multilib
3) integrating with kde eclasses

--------
FEATURES
--------

eclass will painlessly install themes from kde-look.org.  It will also most likely utilize a tool that will tell users what attributes of kde's look and feel you can change with that particular theme (ie. theme a can only change styles and color, theme b can only change color, theme c can change everything).


------------
end proposal
------------

Also, while I'm on doing eclasses, I'll take a look at doing a nicer eclass HOWTO on getting eclasses working.  Comments and suggesstions are welcome.
