  Nothing special, just updated _3_1_BRANCH->kroupware as the webpage 
describes and installed.  Ran kmail and selected "Advanced" and "Enabled 
Groupware".  Near the end of the wizard it just crashed.

   I gave it a quick test already but it ate my machine pretty badly.  Spawned 
endless kio_imap, used 100% cpu and 250MB RAM, etc.  It was also extremely 
slow.  This is using imap to a kolab server.  There are about 10000-12000 
messages across ~30 folders on the kolab server.  Anyways I had to revert 
back to _3_1_BRANCH for now because I need that machine for work.  Hopefully 
switching back will go smoothly when the compile is done.
