It's done! Please review:
kde:scratch/nalvarez/kdewebdev-kfilereplace
kde:scratch/nalvarez/kdewebdev-kimagemapeditor
kde:scratch/nalvarez/kdewebdev-klinkstatus
kde:scratch/nalvarez/kdewebdev-kommander

The history seems to be complete, but I haven't tested if the latest
master compiles etc. I think they rely on the global
kdewebdev/CMakeLists.txt and don't build standalone.

I also need to know where to push the final git repos. Should I create
a kdewebdev module in repo-metadata? And what needs to be done with
i18n for a svn->git move?
