Now that we have seen quite a few problems related to requiring Strigi
pop up and many of them resolved, I'd like to do the next step. I'd
like to merge kdelibs-strigi with kdelibs tomorrow evening. As
mentioned before, this will change the API of KFileMetaInfo.
Underneath, it will use Strigi to get at metadata, with the express
ability to add more methods of getting and setting metadata.

A tutorial on porting KFilePlugin to strigi analyzers has been posted
on techbase and the first ports are underway.

The class KFileWritePlugin which will replace the writing
functionality will use the same mechanisms as KFilePlugin.

This week I have quite a bit of time in the evenings to work on fixing
the issues that will certainly arise because of this merge and next
week too, so this seems like a good time to do so.

If you have questions or objections, now is your time to speak.
