Alex,

We have dumped the idea of a separate kdepimlibs-gpl module. FYI.
I know you always wanted kdepimlibs moved under kdelibs/pim,
and we are discussing that on #kde4-devel today.

But it seems that there aren't enough KDE main modules that are
dependent on the pim libs to warrant including them in kdelibs.
