We don't have to, but I think it makes sense to. Things like Plasma or
Phonon or Akonadi or Nepomuk have some branding and notoriety around
them, so there's not much need for the extra "k". People (at least
developers) know what they are and know that they're KDE technologies.

No offense Carsten, but I doubt the same applies to this unit library.
libunitconv looks like an external dependency. libkunitconv looks like
a KDE library.

Not that this is a really that big a deal. I just didn't want to get
in trouble for just posting a "+1" to Christoph's email. ;)
