No; you're evidently asking for Kopete not to use any libraries. That's not how software works.
I know very well how software works, I develop software myself.
But, I would not have my users jump through the amount of hoops that you apparently think is ok.
And I don't think I have misconceptions about how KDE works. I understand very well that kopete, for example, relies on certain libraries. But I don't think it relies on most of the libraries that need to be compiled in kdelibs. And it certainly doesn't need all the things in kdenetworks.
And I have a certain understanding of the word "decoupling", based on the English dictionary definition. It seems to me that the KDE people use a different definition.
