* Use the 1.6 branch, not trunk or 1.5
* cd koffice/krita
* mkdir colorspaces/watercolors
* open colorspaces Makefile.am in your editor
* go to the line with "wet" add, separated with a space, watercolors

Now the tricky bit:

* cp  krita/colorspaces/wet/* krita/colorspaces/watercolors
* cd  krita/colorspaces/watercolors

I guess you need a special paintop and a background filter for drying, a color 
selector and all the things that are already in the wet colorspace, if not, 
remove the relevant files.

* Rename every file with "wet" in the name to something similar, but with 
"watercolors". e.g "kis_wet_colorspace.h" becomes 
"kis_watercolors_colorspace.h".
* open Makefile.am
* replace "wet" with "watercolors"
* if you don't need the physics filter, the texture painter or the palette, 
remove those .cc and .h files from kritawatercolorsplugin_la_SOURCES and 
noinst_HEADERs
* open kritawatercolorsplugin.desktop
* Remove all the Name and Comment lines in foreign languages
* Adapt the Name and Comment entry to the new colorspace
* set X-KDE-Library to kritawatercolorsplugin

Now you can start fixing the code: every occurrence in a classname of "wet" 
should replaced with "watercolors", every include of something called "*wet*" 
needs to be replaced and so on; from here on it's just coding.
