The Akonadi port of KAlarm will have to be held back until 4.7, since it
isn't working well enough yet, and will need new translatable strings.

But it's still safe to release the trunk version of KAlarm with kdepim
4.6, since by default it's compiled to use the old resources framework.
Just to be safe, it would be a good idea to delete the kalarm/akonadi
subdirectory from the future 4.6 branch, just to be sure that no packager
tries to supply the Akonadi version.
