Yes, I realize that. It wasn't possible to squeeze in the time for the
restructuring before the release.

The new structure I added during the last two weeks is something that
I believe we will be able to keep stable for the next few years. It
actually maps to the underlying concepts of the Kolab server. The
broken approach I added with my original share driver did not.

I added a lot of unit testing which caught many initial problems and
real world testing seemed rather robust now. So I commited the switch
to the new module structures.

If worst comes to worst I could still revert my last commit and/or add
this as a second kolab share driver. But I expect only minor problems
that we should be able to weed out until the next release.

Cheers,

Gunnar
