(b) would be a nightmare for packagers, we'd need to rebuild everything after
every bug fix release (note that this affects every PIM library, not just
akonadi)
For (c) it is too late, there is stuff using pim libraries already.
The right way is (a), but good luck trying to convince kdepim devs of that :)
