kdav.git makes sense (following the kimap, kldap, etc. patern).

Yup, KDAV sounds good

Looking in the code, you probably want everything except for the "resource" 
directory, possibly just extracting some "utlity.cpp" stuff from there?

I understand the reason why, but I think that simply just doing s/i18n/
QStringLiteral/ is not good enough, because we want to show localized errors 
to users. You need to have a rich-enough Error enum, so that client 
applications can generate their own localized and useful-enough error message 
based on context (what failed) + the error value. How do you plan to solve 
localized error messages in Kube? For sure you don't want to show errors in 
English to all your users?

As long as an API to set cookiejar/proxy is provided so we can still integrate 
with KDE at least manually...
