Ah - ok - because I read something about Maemo and GVFS.
Anyway, QtVFS sounds very interesting. I tried to write Qt/Gio
bindings once, but they were very close to the GIO design of course.
I'm just wondering how a QtVFS would look like:
* Java-IO style like GIO. Kind of the universal IO API. Sync, async,
streams, seeking, thread-safety,...
* Convenient like KIO with it's Jobs. And forcing you to work async.
Which is good in a way.
* Or like QIODevice/QFile. Which - from a GIO perspecive - would be
putting GFile, GInputstream and GOutputstream into a single class.
