Good. The general feeling I get is that the widgets seem useful for multiple
koffice apps, so I added them to kofficeui/koUnitWidgets.*.

Please be warned that I am still finding the best API and fixing some bugs
over the next few days. Having said that, I very much would appreciate some
feedback on them, how to improve etc. I'll also try to add some
comments/documentation once the API is a bit more stable.
Cheers,
Rob.
