Properly use #include <> and #include ""

Just a small correction: You don't have to draw the line between every single 
library. If two or more libs ship together (e.g. kdecore, kdeui, kio, ...) 
they should prefer "" to <> to include headers from the other lib because the 
relative position of the header (when installed) is known. Only when the 
relative position is not known (e.g. Qt headers and system headers) should 
you include headers with <>.

But I've heared different opinions on this, though no arguments to convince 
me, yet.
