Unfortunately, due to the library dependencies, relicensing and moving
libkpimidentities to the kdepimlibs won't be possible since that
library depends on libkleo.

We could still relicense and move gpgpmepp and qgpgme if there
are any interested volunteers for doing this.

The only other potential move candidates are the libkpgp and libsieve libs.
Ingo has already indicated (IIRC) that he won't relicense libkpgp.
libsieve is again up to Marc.
