I had a look on that package, but as i don't know about current kde3
practices, i'd rather not step forward to upload.

Some packaging issues need be resolved (in private mail to Mike).
After that i built and ran with kde2, ok: basic as expected, nice,
userfriendly, eg. [Database Delete] [Yes].

Having a versioned -dev package allows for development against either
version on any system at the same time.

'Hiding' the libs by using them statically is surely a way to go.
This library, though limited and in need of a little finishing, might
attract people using it.
If you do care for it (and the archive) you may want to give it a try
as a package and, after some time, see if it's getting used, evtly.
asking for its removal and then use it privately in your other package.
