Hello all,

I recently possibly hit an issue I'd like to know policy about.  In KNewStuff2 
library I recently added support to install packages to absolutepaths for the 
author of KGrubEditor http://www.kde-
apps.org/content/show.php/KGRUBEditor?content=75442 so the dialog can install 
the files directly to /boot/grub or whatever (assuming correct permissions, 
etc.)  The "feature" is very small, and he would like me to backport it to the 
4.0 branch.  It doesn't add any new strings, just adds two public methods to 
knewstuff2/core/insallation.h

thoughts, opinions?

thanks,
Jeremy
