E.g. ioslaves run in a separate process, so the process which is using them 
doesn't have to link to the libraries which the ioslave links to.
The data is transferred over a pipe, and I think the control commands also go 
through this pipe, so this could be done the same way from a non 
QT/KDE-program.
