 - as agreed on IRC, TelepathyLoggerQt4 won't be released with KTp since 0.6, 
but it will follow upstream versioning scheme and release cycle. I will take 
care of keeping it up-to-date and doing the releases. 

If there's ever need to make a bugfix release (because of bug in TplQt4), we 
will use 4th digit, i.e. 0.8.0.1.
