We need to wait for Michael's comments here how generic libkmap has become, 
but initially it has been a solution to the problem of having a map from 
different backends and items (photos) grouped on the map, with all usual 
associated features.

Due to the deeper dependency on marble, which is in kdeedu, a move to 
kdegraphics/libs was already vetoed, because kdegraphics cannot depend on 
kdeedu. I think the current plan is to keep it in extragear (needs to go 
through kdereview as well to be in extragear)
