Without having checked the build log yet, let me just add a few bits here.

We've just recently ported the evolution-kolab [0] plugin for Evolution
from the old code base (Evolution 2.30) over to the current development version
and are about to release evolution-kolab as a part of GNOME 3.4.
  In order to be able to support a future Kolab 3 server, it would be very much
helpful to use a library like libkolabxml for parsing the new format. However,
if libkolabxml will depend on KDE libraries, it will be difficult to get it into
a GNOME application (although evolution-kolab is a plugin only).
  Freeing libkolabxml of its KDE dependencies therefore looks like a very good
idea to me. Maybe even the SyncKolab people would be interested in using this
library, so my gut feeling is, that, the less dependencies libkolabxml will have,
the more widespread its use in various projects will become (which IMHO would be
a big win for the Kolab community).


Just 2 cents,

	Christian
