I don't have any goal to make kdebase independent from kdepimlibs.

I do have a goal to organize things a little better. 
There are 2 issues I'd like to solve:
1. remove kdepim dependence on kdebase 
2. co-locate all the kdepim ioslaves

This is *not* a big deal.  If there are reasons not to move all the kdepim-related
ioslaves into kdepimlibs.. I certainly have other things I can work on.

The proposal is to move all these kioslaves into kdepimlibs:
 - imap4  (from kdepim)
 - sieve (from kdepim)
 - ldap (from kdebase/runtime)
 - pop3 (from kdebase/runtime)
 - smtp (from kdebase/runtime)
 - nntp (from kdebase/runtime)

Please let me know about objections before Monday
