I think it is more user friendly then the kdatetimewidget, but if i recall 
correctly the kdatetimeedit allows users to enter 'next week','next month' 
and 'tomorrow', which makes little sense for a birthday field for example.  
So I doubt it will - unchanged - fit in all applications.

I'm not able to help with porting at this moment as I'm working in extragear, 
but I can surely help converting them in a later stage. I personally don't 
like the code duplication and watching bugreports in libkdepim because 
digikam uses the same class, that is why kdelibs seemed the right place for 
these two.
