Ee, the server goes in :-) It will still be installable standalone of course, 
the only difference is that what is now libakonadiprotocolinternals.so would 
be libKF5AkonadiPrivate.so.

The Akonadi framework itself is already split into multiple libraries:

libKF5AkonadiCore - non-gui stuff
libKF5AkonadiAgentBase - agents/resources-related stuff (non-gui)
libKF5AkonadiWidgets - gui
(and some more, not important)

I think all the type-specific libraries (-abc, -calendar, ...) would all 
depend on the Widgets library anyway and the amount of non-gui stuff is rather 
limited *
