It's very very easy. Just reimplement the start() and stop() function and 
you'll have a first version of the plugin that correctly works and integrates 
within kget2.

As far as I know from my personal experience the only problems that could 
arise come from the ksycoca cache not being completely compatible between 
kde3 and kde4 installations. The last mail from Felix explained how to 
workaround this problem.

A couple of things you should remember are:
1) checkout and use the last kdelibs4_snapshot and not the bleeding edge 
kdelibs;
2) in order to compile kdelibs and kde 4 applications you should use 
unsermake, taken from the svn repository.

Have fun :-)
