[Kde-imaging] libkdcraw and KDE 4.1.x

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi everyone =)

in the 4.1 branch, a set of changes was made to libkdcraw which consisted of a 
substantial rewrite of the library that caused a change in ABI and a change in 
the .so name.

i assume this change was made in the 4.1 branch because people are developing 
against the 4.1 branch of kdegraphics.

unfortunately, such changes in ABI and features aren't allowed in the stable 
branch after it's initial ".0" release.

these change are fine, indeed welcome, in trunk/, but the changes will need to 
be reverted in the 4.1 branch.

we can always require the new version of the library for specific applications, 
and we (kdegraphics people) coul even do a release of the new library before 
4.2 happens.

before i just went off reverting things, however, i felt it was proper to first 
discuss it here (and hopefully the committer of those changes can revert it 
from the 4.1 branch themselves). 4.1.2 is due to be released shortly, so 
taking care of this in a timely fashion is important..

thanks for your time ...
