It's a *huge* improvement to not store the password anymore but just  
the access token :)
We can store the access token either in kwallet (better) or in  
koauthrc config file. IIRC we store the password in a config file  
today right? So, both solutions are already better than current  
scenario :)

JSON++ even if it adds a new dependency. We can take a look into Qt5's  
json parser as it may be even better and we can backport just it to  
use right now.
