What's the difference to the current state? The current mailmerge plugins 
implements the virtual methods from koffice/kword/KWMailMergeDataSource.h and 
KWord find these plugins via .desktop files with the servicetype 
KWord/MailMergePlugin. And because of the fact, that I used only exported 
methods, the plugin needs only kword-devel and kexi-devel to compile and not 
the complete sourcecode of KWord/Kexi. So the plugin could be completly 
independent from KWord/Kexi. And with this plugin you can still use 
kspread/kabc/qtsql as source, because it doesn't replace something. It's just 
a plugin besides the three others.
