I am working on a project that uses the Qt toolkit for GUI display. I
am licencing under the X/MIT license. Using autotools with Qt is not
easy, and the only complete set of macros I can find are from KDE and
are under the lgpl licence. To use them you include a directory of KDE
files in your source tree under admin/. Does this polute my tree with
lgpl? By using these macros I don't suddenly have to release my code
undel LGPL do I?

It is my understanding that I don't, that I am just using these files.
However, they are included in my source tree and so I am not sure if
they then become part of my project, in which case that would polute my
tree and would require me to release under (L)GPL.
