An alternative might be to declare the libraries in kdepimlibs which we know 
will change as KDE 3 compatibility libs and introduce the replacement in KDE 
4.1. Similar to what Trolltech did with QCanvas for Qt4.

We might also want to think about changing kdepimlibs in such a way that it is 
possible to make them use Akonadi internally once it is ready, so that 
applications which now use kdepimlibs will keep functioning and interoperate 
with new apps or newer versions of apps which will use the native Akonadi 
interfaces. I'm not exactly sure what this would involve, though.
