[aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3

[Aaron DeVore]

I'm testing the building for various packages. This is a partial list of
packages that should be deleted. I didn't include any packages that are
maintained by trusted users.

Kicker packages
=============

Kicker was a part of the KDE 3 desktop, but is not present in any KDE 4.
All packages that use Kicker are therefore useless.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/diskmonitor/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kooldock-svn/

Won't compile
=============

These packages will never compile unless development magically springs to
life upstream (it won't).

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kalsamix
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kaudiocreator3/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/k3bmonkeyaudioplugin/
    Only works with an old version of k3b
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kapitalist/
    Needs modification to the upstream source to work
