Christian,

Your code looks really nice.  You obviously put a lot of work into it.

It builds fine for me the the test hangs (and I let it run over night).
% makeobj test
makeobj[0]: Entering directory `/data/kde/trunk/KDE/kdepimlibs/build-gcc/kblog/tests'
Running tests...
Start processing tests
Test project /data/kde/trunk/KDE/kdepimlibs/build-gcc/kblog/tests
  1/  2 Testing kblog-testblogger             make: *** [test] Interrupt

Do you know what's wrong?
Once we fix the testing I will svn mv kblog into kdepimlibs.

Regards,
Allen
