Technically you are definitely right, but we still have the problem of 
licenses. libkdepim is LGPL and most of libkdenetwork is GPL. Mixing both in 
the same library will be problematic. In my opinion the best solution would 
be to change the libkdenetwork license to LGPL, but this is something the 
authors of libkdenetwork have to decide.

Please don't create additional subdirs. This only adds overhead and gains 
nothing. There are not that many files in the two libs.
