Yes, I know we should always be careful about the changes which might
break users of konsolepart.  But I guess we can make that change now
without breaking:

1. install konsolepart without the "lib" prefix
2. in the "make install" stage, create and install a symlink
libkonsolepart.so pointing to konsolepart.so
3. modify konsolepart.desktop, change the line
"X-KDE-Library=libkonsolepart" to "X-KDE-Library=konsolepart"

In this way, we keep the compatibility for those who load konsolepart
using the hardcoded name "libkonsolepart", and do not introduce any
new problem for those who lookup the library name for konsolepart by
using KService, like this:

    KService::Ptr service = KService::serviceByDesktopName("konsolepart");
    QString librayName = service->library();

The problem is :
1). I don't know how to ask CMake to create and install a symlink :(
2). I dont' know whether shipping a symlink by ourselfes is bad for
downstream packagers or against some policy.

Jekyll
