For 4.0 we keep the current implementation (just ported and able to
run/work) and in 4.1 we'll present a shiny new application based on
akonadi.

Yepp, we should try to put as much code as possible into components,
which can be reused by other parts of the desktop/applications.

As we need access to libakonadi, and libakonadi is moved to kdepimlibs
in 4.1, I'd postpone it till 4.1.

I've started a simple version in akonadi/kabc/kcontactmanager, it
presents available addressbooks (collections), the contacts and the
details. As you can see, the functional code is just about 10 lines of
code, akonadi rules! :)

Ciao,
Tobias
