Drop the KDE address book?

Hi

Our KDE address book database driver (main/connectivity/source/drivers/kab)
only supports the KDE 3.2 - 3.6 address book API, not the more recent 4 and
5 which apparently use DBUS instead.

KDE 4 has been out since 2008, so the KDE address book hasn't been working
for KDE users for the past 9 years anyway. LibreOffice has apparently also
dropped it. It would also make porting connectivity to gbuild much easier,
as the only way to test it, is to use KDE 3 to build AOO...

Let's get rid of it?

Can we use Qdbus? Should be rather easy task.

I'm sure nobody has installed such old KDE version together with a 
recent OpenOffice. Therefore it doesn't make sense to drag it any longer 
with us when it isn't working anyway.

Access would be possible, if a JDBC or ODBC driver for the KDE 4/5 address
book existed, since we have bridges to JDBC and ODBC.

A native driver, like the one we have for KDE 3, would require a rewrite.

Database drivers are complex, there's 149 methods in the XDatabaseMetaData
UNO interface alone, and the com.sun.star.sdbc and com.sun.star.sdbcx
modules have many services with many interfaces.

+1 can we integrate KDE 4 or 5 today?
Do we have a gap?
