Ok,

I pushed some changes to:

* clean the BookmarkModel d-pointer issues
* rename Contact "d" to d_ptr
* Remove the legacyhistorybackend as import from 2 years old version
isn't important anymore
* Fix the cmakelist duplicated line

Missing d-pointers:
* The ringtone model, a new version is in a github branch, I have yet
to review and merge it
* SecurityEvaluationModel is currently being rewriten, fixing it now
is pointless, the new version wont be ready before this review expire

All other classes without d-pointer are interfaces or proxy models,
they don't need d-pointers.

Regards,
Emmanuel Lepage
