[Kde-imaging] QT4/KDE4/CMake port...

[Gilles Caulier]

In port, i have use QT4/KDE4 API we it possible to remplace old QT3/KDE3
API.

But this job can be long to do and to test. Like no kipi hosts have been
ported yet under KDE4, we cannot test plugins port. So i recommend to delay
all complex code port (especially about GUI/widgets part) to use QT3/KDE3 ->
QT4/KDE4 compatibility port lib (Q3... and K3... class).

To resume :

- all simple QT3/KDE3 -> QT4/KDE4 port can be done as well
- all complex QT3/KDE3 -> QT4/KDE4 port will use temporally Q3.../K3...
transition class.
