since I really do not want to maintain two branches I propose removing
nepomuk from kde-runtime master completely.
However, since nepomuk-core also contains all the nepomuk libs which are
now in kdelibs 4.7 we need to act here, too.
I propose that we move to include path nepomuk2. The main library is
already called nepomukcore. I am not sure about that yet. So maybe it
could be renamed to libnepomuk2 also.
That way we would have the libnepomuk from 4.7 and the new stuff from
libnepomuk2 and the only thing we need to ensure is that the 4.7 libs
still work with the services from nepomuk-core. Applications are then
advised to already depend on nepomuk-core instead of kdelibs.

Opinions?
