Fixed are the namespace pollution (added a K-prefix to all classes) and the 
issue with K_GLOBAL_STATIC for KGlobalSettingsData (used outside of function, 
made KGlobalSettingsData constructor public for that). Treated the enum to 
the best of my updated knowledge, thanks for all hints (no FooBegin though, 
as that needs to be 0, used as array index).

Not fixed is the existing wrong use of K_GLOBAL_STATIC for KGlobalSettings, as 
this is not scope of this patch. Should be fixed afterwards.

Any other issues with this patch? If not, I will commit on first "Go!" or 
during the weekend. :)

Cheers
Friedrich
