This is exactly what this metaport does, too ("...and enables non-interactive 
disabling of every optional KDE component via defining WITHOUT_<kdemodule>").

Let me take this opportunity to say that I would very much appreciate it if 
people would actually _look_ at the port first, then comment on it, this 
time.

Really pre-selecting a language (i.e. that will be used right on the very 
first startup) is a bit difficult to implement from a port (kpersonalizer 
takes care of that). We could convert kde3-i18n into another menudriven port 
(again with non-interactive knobs as an alternative of course) and then 
depend on it from kde3, so people could select which languages are available. 
I will look into that.
