But it uses one, which happens to be the libopensync 0.3x one in the KDE 4
releases and thus the brokenness which led KDE upstream to disable it in
KDE 4.2. And they chose that API based on (false) assurance from the
OpenSync developers that 0.40 would be ready in time for KDE 4.0, then 4.1,
it had nothing whatsoever to do with distros packaging it.
