[kde-edu]: Switching to cmake

[Pino Toscano]

Hello dear edu developers,

basically, almost all of kdeedu now is ported to cmake, both configure tests 
and compiling part. As maintaining two build system is not a trivial task, 
especially if one is dead for kdelibs (yes, kdelibs doesn't compile anymore 
with unsermake), I'd like to switch soon to cmake.
Switching to cmake means:
a) copy a stub Makefile.cvs instead of the actual, so you'll get ann error 
message if you try to compile with unsermake
b) declare every autostuff (makefile.am, configure.in.in, configure.in.bot)  
deprecated, and every change to a file of the cmake build system shouldn't be 
done to them
c) as soon as an application works fine with cmake (ie its configure checks 
are ok, compiles and builds fine), its maintainer(s) will remove its 
autostuff from its sources

The only two "issues" I'm aware of are:
- Kalzium: the ocaml solver still is disabled, as it needs custom cmake macros 
to support the ocaml compilation. That is not a real issue, at the custom 
Makefile that did the work in the 3.5 branch is not supported by unsermake, 
so it was always disabled with kde4.
- KStars: I don't know what is the current state of KStarts about the 
compilation with cmake and about the configure checks. If anyone of the 
KStart team (Jason? ;) ) could explain it, it'd be fine.

If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
