	Can kmobliletools-plugin-kontact (or anything else out there based
on libkmobiletools) operate independantly of the main application? If not,
the only split might need to be the kontact plugin vs. kmobiletools, to
avoid kmobiletools depending on kontact.

	Either way, I don't think that's too much splitting, but you could
eliminate one library by mergeing the packages for libkmobiletools_at and
libkmobiletools together.
