I'm pretty sure I did, but there was a problem compiling one of the libs so I 
had unmasked a slightly newer version.

Currently installed:
[IP-] [  ] net-libs/libkolab-0.5.2:4
[IP-] [  ] net-libs/libkolabxml-1.0.1:4


Once libkolabxml was present I recompiled everything that was a dependency of 
kdepim-meta:

Is there some compiler directive in the code that switches it on if the header 
files are present? I'm not familiar with what triggers the option to be there.
