strcpy doesn't allocate memory, strdup does. p.password is just a 
pointer and doesnt' have momory for the string allocated to it. latin1() 
returns a const char* pointer valid for as long as the QString is there, 
which in this case is the lifetime of that function, that's all we want, 
we don't want to be unnecessarily copying/allocating memory.
