RFC v2: adding a temporary, non-BC gauranteed, 'private' library

[Aaron J. Seigo]

the new new plan is this:

svn location: extragear/libs/knotificationitem
headers: $INCLUDE_PATH/knotificationaitem-1/
lib name: $LIB_PATH/libknotificationitem-1.so
namespace: Experimental::

release of tarball done prior to kde 4.3.

will most likely be removed post-4.3 and rolled into kdelibs. if not, changes 
will results in a s,-1,-2,g to the above and another release.

objections?



the results of this will end up being described as "how to get big changes 
that may carry uncertainty into kdelibs" on techbase.

the motivations:

* releasing new API without apps and user experience testing is bad practice

* not having a well described and moderately non-labor-intensive way to do 
this results in people dumping things that aren't ready into kdelibs (see: 
kde3)
