I think what Volker and I had decided was:

- the new kolab libs should be an optional 3rdparty dependency
- the kolab resource in kdepim-runtime will only be built if those optional dependencies are found.

as for the announcement, give me the relevant info and I will handle that part.
please let's get all this done before 3 May.

Will rpms/deps be available for the new libs at kolab.org?
