Having categories instead of folder may be a nice feature (and I think I 
prefer the categories) but current Akregator behaviour is good after all.
Anyway this is not required for the synchronisation mecanism with Online 
Readers. We can agree on a simple mapping rule to translate categories into 
folders (for example taking only the last leaf of the tree for folders).

I just added a folder akregator in playground. The classed I've made far are 
in the src/syncrss directory. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to adjust 
the CMakeList.txt. It compiles in kdepim, but not outside. And there are a 
lot of harcoded stuffs.

I'd say that we need at least:
- a way to get the list of feed (folder+name+url)
- a way to add a feed in a folder (I think we have this)
- a way to delete a feed in a folder
- updating a feed may only be removing+adding the feed


Thank you for you support. Any remark/suggestion is welcome.

Regards,

Didier.
