IMO that's a good idea :-)
We will then have kdepim + kdepimlibs, kdegraphics+kdegraphicslibs, 
koffice+kofficelibs. See some scheme ? How about taking this one step 
further ?

We could either say we introduce for every module we have an accompanying libs 
module OR we structure our modules (actually with svn we don't have modules 
anymore) all following the same scheme:

somemodule/
        +--libs/
        |    +--lib1/ 
        |    +--lib2/
        +--apps/
             +--app1/
             +--app2/

Of course the libs/ dir must be compilable on its own. Should the whole module 
still be compilable at once or have libs/ and apps/ to be compiled 
separately ? If we follow some rules (I think mainly not using 
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR and CMAKE_BINARY_DIR) both can work.
