It will become a framework. I'll look more into your patch.

Split Baloo up based on the directory stuff -

src/core - Library - Coinstallable
src/file/lib/ - Libraries that can be coinstalled
src/file/ - Binaries - Qt5 ones replace the Qt4 ones
src/kioslaves - Co-installable
src/runner - Coinstallable
src/tools - binaries. Qt5 ones can replace the Qt4 ones
src/xapian - Library - co-installable
src/pim - Not compiled in KF5, it will be split out.
