Moving KPrefs from libkdepim to kdelibs

A couple of people have asked, if we can move KPrefs from libkdepim to
kdelibs. It's a class which provides easy access to configuration information
stored via KConfig in a type-safe way with as few redundant code as possible,
in particular without specifying config file keys and default values at more
than one location in the code.
KPrefs doesn't address any GUI issues, it's just an abstracted layer on
configuration data and should be orthogonal to the different GUI approaches
for configuration we currently have.
The class is used by KOrganizer, Kontact, KAddressBook, KBugBuster and Kandy
since a long time and should be pretty stable. See e.g.
kdepim/korganizer/koprefs.{h,cpp} for an example how to use it.
Any objections to moving kdepim/libkdepim/kprefs.{h,cpp} to kdelibs/kdecore?
