i included those in the CMakeLists.txt counts

renames and content changes for these are scriptable. there are 17 in libs/, 
and 102 in kword/, kspread/ and kpresenter/ combined.

changes to the ServiceType entries would be needed, they are also easily 
scriptable. then there's the calls to KServiceTypeTrader in the C++ code, but 
those are also very easy to grep for as they are rather unambiguous strings.

in fact: there are 16 ServiceTypes installed by caligra/libs/. of those, 15 
are prefixed with "KOffice/", and one with "KoReport/"

grepping for that shows 22 instances where those are used in the C++ code from 
KServiceTypeTraders .. and every single one of those instances is in libs/ 
(koffice/calligra is quite reasonably designed :)

so changing the ServiceTypes is probably 30 minutes with of work from the 
command line as everything is easily findable and scirptable (`perl -pi -e` is 
your friend)

there is one rc file in libs/ which would need to be renamed, and the renamed 
apps (words, stage, numbers) need this done anyways. in fact i see it has been 
started (though not yet completed as the content hasn't been updated as needed 
in all cases). the rest is just install prefixes in the CMakeList.txt.

image naming can similarly be scripted, and it seems that the images are 
really just dependent on path prefixes. there are only 47 affected images in 
libs/ and 205 in kword/, kspread/ and kpresenter/ combined.

a few need renaming, mostly it's just the install prefix which is a one liner 
(easily scripted) in the relevant CMakeLists.txt files.

those need moving anyways.

docs, which need to be moved around for the renamed apps anyways.

obviously it's the calligra team's call how much a clean break is worth.

all i can offer is that we've made such changes before in plasma (which does 
only have ~1/4th the lines of code, but in terms of plugins and similar 
installables is similarly complex; plasma has nearly 3 times the number of 
.desktop files, plugins, etc.), so i know how first hand that it's definitely 
a bit fiddly, but it's doable in a small amount of time.

and i'm assuming you only need to worry about libs/, kword/, kspread/ and 
kpresenter/ changing names. libs/ causes some knock-on effects to other 
CMakeLists.txt files and ServiceTypeTrader calls, but it's all included in the 
numbers above, which are really much smaller than one might expect for a code 
base of that size.
