Hey guys

Baloo is now a part of KDE SC. I'd like to merge the feature/baloo branch in
kde-baseapps. It mostly works right now, though it can definitely use more
testing.

Could someone maybe review the code?

Here is what currently does not work -

1. Date Time filtering when searching via Dolphin - I still haven't figured
out a nice API for this.

2. Tagging Multiple files - It works in the most basic case, but there is
still an odd case where it fails. I'm working on it.

3. Support for file systems which do not support xattr.
