  The KDE data files should only be installed with the install-plugin 
target in plugin/klash. I do think though we should make the install 
target call install-plugins. Gnash worked this way for years, the only 
reason I created the install-plugins target was to get around an old 
problem that broke our automated "make distcheck", and I got tired of it 
failing. The original bug that caused that problem (installation 
directories that required one to be root), has been fixed for months, so 
it's not a problem anymore. As most people build Gnash for the plugin, 
it makes sense to me that install should also install the plugins like 
we used to do.
