Hi Duncan,

We were all the time working on Kdepim along with your instructions, so it 
took a while until my answer ! Thank you very much for your instructions, 
clear and clean. We now are running the KDE-4.4.0 version ( with Kdepim of 
course ). I am going to upgrade the KDE-4.4 wiki in the next time, and I am 
going also to write explicitly what we did, closing maybe this issue.
Again, thank you very much, also to James Tyrer for some comments on redland, 
raptor etc.
Edgar
