OK, this was quite some work. I have moved the repo to other/kde-testing. This 
way it should be found on some mirrors soon.

It's meant to be used in the follwoing order in pacman.conf:
	kde-testing
	testing
	core
	extra
	community

Be warned: this will replace the existing KDE-3 packages by their equivalents 
of KDE-4.1. By installing kdelibs3 packages that depend on the old KDE 
"should" still work. (After KDE-4.1 is released to extra we "just" have to 
update the dependencies of the remaining KDE-3 packages; a rebuilt "should" 
not be needed)

In order to not mess up things I have setup a separate git-repo containing all 
used PKGBUILDs: 
	web: http://git.archlinux.de/cgit.cgi?url=kde-testing/
	git: http://git.archlinux.de/~pierre/kde-testing.git
Feel free to report any suggestions etc.. (by this I mean packaging bugs of 
course)

If there is any dev who wants to help building this stuff for i686, please let 
me know.

Happy bug-hunting,

Pierre
