Right.

Whichever, IMHO.

I grepped the output of ldd in my kde3 installation and I can't find anything else that
links to libkabc_dir.so. In fact I don't see how anything could link to it since there are
no installed headers for it. I don't know why the lib was separated from the plugin in
the first place. Tobias introduced it with an unrelated log msg.

My advice would be: get rid of the shared libs, we don't seem to need them.
Put all the code into the plugins.
