Moving KAddressBook back to kdepim

[Don Sanders]

This would mean that for end users KMail is dependent on kde-pim 
again, a situation which has proven confusing in the past, ("Somebody 
told me I just need kde network/base/libs to get KMail to work but 
now the addressbook isn't working" ad nauseam).

The basic problem is that KAddressBook and KOrganizer want to share a 
common dialog, specifically the choose categories dialog, right?

Would it really be wrong to add such a dialog to kdelibs/kdeui ?
