Yes, I would second that, otherwise it would be difficult to develop and test 
any new features or bugfixes before they were merged into the kdelibs 
version.  Also, I wonder if it would be possible to change the CapsStyle of 
filenames and directories to a lowercase style, for consistency with the rest 
of kdelibs.

Other than that, I think this will be a valuable contribution for kdelibs.
