It doesn't do it at the moment, but it would use libakonadi to
fetch/store the data from the akonadi storage.

Well, code generation is nice when you have to write a lot of code which
often changes, however the code of libkabc hasn't changed for hmm, 3 years or more?
So using code generation seems to be overkill here.

KShared, in comparison to QSharedData it's just ugly ;)

The whole resource handling is removed from kabc and the classes are
just used for storing data during runtime. khalkhi will fill them with
data from akonadi.

                             ^^^ Is this really a question?
