hi..

right now we have in the plasma-mobile repository a config/ subdirectory.

these files need customization for various OS and device targets. they also, 
however, share common settings. plasmarc, for instance, will have common 
settings for many (most? all?) plasma active builds, but also contain 
specializations for different targets.

carrying patches for those differentiations is not optimal, particularly as you 
are going to want to keep them revisioned anyways. one possible answer is 
"make a branch for the device in plasma-mobile", but this starts to make it 
tempting to make all sorts of target-specific changes in the code which is 
almost always not what we want.

so i created a new repository that only contains the config files and given them 
some structure. i've also added a couple of branches to show what sorts of 
things are possible, such as including xorg config. (both branches are actually 
real-world useful as well :)

you can get it with:

	git clone kde:scratch/aseigo/plasma-mobile-config

it has all the history of plasma-mobile/config, of course. if there is 
consensus on this, then i'd like to move this repository alongside plasma-
mobile and remove the config/ dir from the plasma-mobile repository.
