It should be quite easy just to add a namespace LibCalendaring { ... } around 
all the .h files provided by libcalendaring and a using namespace 
LibCalendaring in the cpp files.

For the the libkolab(-xml) files, it should also just be a matter of adding 
ifdef'ed namespace LibCalendaring { ... } around all the classes, and a 
ifdef'ed using namespace LibCalendaring in the .cpp files, if built against 
libcalendaring, and ensure it is built with different filenames when built 
against libcalendaring.

That way, there are no symbol clashes and no file clashes, and you can have a 
kolab test server on your laptop together with kontact and be sure that it 
doesn't blow up in your face.

(replace the namespace LibCalendaring with whatever you find is a better name)
