Review request for Konversation.


Description
-------

For people outthere like me that do not use KDE, the dependency on kdepim is a very huge one. We would very happily make the tradeoff of NOT being able to link nicknames to kde addressbook.

I guess you see the points, depending on kdepim brings two big problems
* installation/compilation : depending on kdepim brings half of kde packages, kdepim package and hence ugliness such as nepomuk/akonadi.
* at runtime, starting konversation, by the magic of dbus and KDE spaghetti runtime dependencies, it starts lot of unrelated KDE stuff daemons that takes both cpu and ram. I know this arg is denied by KDE zealot, but i stand on it.

So I did it. This patch allows compilation without kdepim. I've tried to keep the patch as minimal as possible of course.

I'm always on irc/freenode as 'orzel', and i'll be on #konversation for the next days.
Also, I do have commit rights on KDE (not sure about konversation proper, i did no follow the git migration very closely)
