I was thinking about some API in common-internals, that instead of 
having them as constant, make them configurable, defaulting to our 
components or to any other installed handler if our is not installed.
Even though there is no way to configure it (the only way is to edit 
manually the config file), the approver partially does that (see 
ktp-approver/src/handlewithcaller.cpp:38), we should move that in common 
and use it in every component (it would be great if we could do this in 
time for 0.4)
