Hi Vit,

Not exactly "bundled libraries".

The worst thing that may happen is we have two versions of
libkgeomap/KF5: one compiled into digiKam/KF5 (not even as a shared),
another one later released as a shared library. This is not bad for
the release team, it is only bad in terms of maintainability for
developers of digiKam, KPhotoAlbum and others who might want to use
libkgeomap.

I will try to convince Gilles that libkgeomap should stay a public
shared library and be used by digiKam externally.
