KDE-Bluetooth for KDE 4: first test release

Managing Bluetooth on Linux is actually pretty easy - bluez, the Open Source bluetooth stack is certified by the Bluetooth group itself and is therefore fully supported. However, bluez needs a GUI to be used by users. For KDE, KDEBluetooth delivered a well working solution for years.
