Kimageio removal

[Szombathelyi György]

And does it matter?

Say KDE4 builds information about KImageIO modules (which are doesn't exists 
anymore, since the're all converted to QImageIOHandler plugins, except for a 
few), KDE3 apps can't use them already, because of BIC problems. And this is 
true for other services, too. I'm always thinking that the ksycoca file 
should be called ksycoca-4 or sth. similar, and starting the first KDE3 app 
in KDE4 will build its own ksycoca file. I don't know much about the deep 
internals, how is this solved in KDE2->3?
