kdepimlibs are public API, which gets headers installed and guarantees API and 
ABI stability during KDE4 lifetime.

libkdepim used to be the non-public (for use in kdepim only) library where we 
put things our applications shared with each other but where we couldn't or 
didn't want to commit to the stability guarantees.

libkdepim is now considered deprecated in the sense that no new code should be 
added to it. We will most likely still have internal API but we try to keep 
those in separate libs now to avoid creating another libkdepim "monster" :)

Cheers,
Kevin
