Hello Steffen,

since the beginning of autoconfiguring kolab we have used a seperate 
directory, dist_conf, that holds the distribution date.   This is a bit 
cumbersome, as the dist_conf has to be included and distributed with each 
kolab module.  This this difficult to maintain.

As perl-kolab is now more or less autoconfigured it might be a good idea the 
move the dist_conf directory to perl-kolab.  The reason is that perl-kolab is 
the first kolab module being build (and installed).  During the (rpm) 
installation the distribution specific file from the dist_conf directory can 
be installed to $libdir/pkgconfig/kolab.pc.  Once this file is installed it 
can be included during the build of subsequent kolab packages such kolabd and 
kolab-webadmin.  Is this feasible?
