I told you that I don't intend to store additional data inside the 
solvable. So wait until the code is done. ;)

This is what the UIs frequently do. And they don't want the kind prefix in 
a name. Thats why we'll provide an accessor for both. Huha will kill us if 
his pattern view looks like:

        pattern:kde             10.3-155
        pattern:kde4_basis      10.3-155
        pattern:kde_basis       10.3-155
        pattern:kde_basis_opt   10.3-155
        pattern:kde_games       10.3-155
        pattern:kde_ide         10.3-155
        pattern:kde_imaging     10.3-155
        pattern:kde_imaging_opt 10.3-155
        pattern:kde_internet    10.3-155
        pattern:kde_laptop      10.3-155
        pattern:kde_multimedia  10.3-155
        pattern:kde_office      10.3-155
        pattern:kde_office_opt  10.3-155
        pattern:kde_utilities   10.3-155
        pattern:kde_xgl         10.3-155
