[Kolab-devel] Kolab-resource-handlers dependency on Horde libraries

If someone is able to explain the changes in the patch, and if it  
doesn't break anything for the regular Horde code, we may be able to  
apply it upstream, so that you won't need to patch the code in future  
releases.
I wonder why this didn't happen the first time.
