[Kde-pim] New Kolab-Resource depending on libkolab

[Christian Mollekopf]

Hi Allen,

I finally managed to get the kolablibraries releaseable. The new dependency of 
the kolabresource is libkolab-0.2 which provides the kolabformatv2 
implementation as well as the KDE container conversion for the kolabformat v3.

libkolab itself requires libkolabxml-0.4 which is the kolabformat v3 
implementation.

The code for bother libraries can be found here:

http://git.kolab.org/libkolab/log/?h=libkolab-0.2
http://git.kolab.org/libkolabxml/log/?h=libkolabxml-0.4

I'll add tags tomorrow. I have yet to figure out what packages we will provide 
exactly, but I assume at least rpms.
If ok, I'll merge the resource into master tomorrow.

Please tell me what other info you need, I can then forward that to you 
tomorrow as well.

Thanks,
Christian
