Hrm, Im not sure how Kontact manages feeds yet, but im assuming that we will 
all want to use the same "pool" of rss feeds.  Maby not.  All that is missing

Well, I guess Im more keen on getting DCOP RSS ready for general use, than 
going with strait librss, but Im not sure anyone other than the webmasters
