In theory JuK should be able to import data from KDE 3.5.  KDE 3.4 and before 
may be an issue with trunk as some support for old data used has been excised 
in trunk.

The KDE 3.5 importing is heuristic, not deterministic but I can't see any 
reason why the mechanism used to detect old code shouldn't succeed most of the 
time.
