Hiya,

I would like to change the io-slave interface to use KURL instead of path & 
query pairs. This change allows us to solve problems with non-ascii paths 
with unknown encodings. Since we don't know the encoding of these paths it is 
impossible to convert them to unicode reliable, so we can't pass them in a 
QString. This problem is solvable within the KURL class, but for that we must 
make sure to pass the URL around.

This change involves changing _ALL_ io-slaves so I hope that no one is 
currently working on big changes in his/her io-slave. If you do, please let 
me know ASAP.

Make sure to yell if you have objections to this change. Otherwise I will 
commit my changes wednesday.

Cheers,
Waldo
