Thats up to the maintainer, IMHO. Diff2 comes from libdiff2 which was
imported from kompare. Some of the others might come from CommonC++ or
boost, which are the two libraries that teamwork uses. 

Anyway, this is not public API as this is a plugin, so this is not
subject to the libs-coding-style and such things.

KDevPlatform libraries use the KDevelop namespace. The
projectmanagerview plugin should be changed and the namespaec removed.

Can't comment about that for sure, AFAIK using ns; in an implementation
is accepted.

Also note: We can change the plugins any time we want, those are not
subject to BC-rules.
