They have been unmaintained for a long time and nobody stepped up to
port them to the changes in the decoration API. If at some time someone
wants to bring them back it's still in the git history.
This build option is added to make it easier to build just KWin without
kde-workspace. This is a common requirement by developers wanting to
contribute to KWin and only want to build KWin but use everything else
from their normal distribution.
Building KWin standalone is very often difficult due to Oxygen. If the
library has changed it is not possible to build just KWin without also
building the workspace libs and if you do so you run into ABI problems
when trying to start KWin - either the decoration or the style is
crashing due to not matching libraries.
To circumvent this common issue for new developers this build option
is introduced to just exclude the Oxygen window decoration and defaulting
to Plastik.
Of course by default this option is turned ON, so that the Oxygen
decoration gets build. By default there is no change at all.

It is believed that Nitrogen is versatile enough to satisfy most users, and that it is
good-looking enough to make Nuno happy.

be a fork of the Oxygen decoration with additional features that
the Oxygen developers don't want to have in Oxygen. See README
or #152030 for why they prefer it this way.

I haven't checked these in a few days, if any are newly off of kdefx, please re-enable those builds

${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} in each and every file anymore [only when subdirs might depend on that].
Also ran a script which makes sure that ${KDE4_INCLUDE_DIR} and ${QT_INCLUDES} are added -last-,
so that installed headers are not preferred over (possibly more uptodate) local headers.

BE CARREFULL: Don't try to compile it for the moment (in progress)
Don't use kdelibs trunk for compile it (there is not again test to disable
compile when we compile with kdelibs trunk)
For the moment there was a lot of missing test etc.
I commit it just to allow to lose my changes if there is a pb on my HD.
I will sync cmake from kdelibs trunk to kdelibs-snapshot.
I hope to fix compile today or tomorrow.

For the futur we must sync kdelibs/cmake/* to kdelibs-snapshot
to compile all the time with kdelibs-snapshot
