Stringutils should be no problem to share (once we decide where to put 
them). But the objecttreeparser needs to be decoupled from the private 
MailViewer class (previously it depended on KMReaderWin). It is probably 
possible, I just didn't know it is needed. I will work on it.

Ok, so we have MailViewer namespace. Just please suggest a name for the main 
class (the viewer widget) as it is now called MailViewer. :)

The reason I don't like creating actions inside the lib is that you have to 
expose them to the outside (as some users might not like the default 
icon/shortcut/behavior of them). And as soon as you do, you loose control on 
the KAction pointers.
