This is already done.

I don't think this is a good idea. The kipi version can be checked
using some macros. But I think Gilles must say more.

Yes, I already wrote him, now I expect his answer.

About Kamoso, Gilles says that is no more maintained, so we dropped
support for it.

Gilles, said that we can integrate new libkipi version into master,
after the digikam 2.9.0 release on september 2nd.
