Well that would require more work since this parser adheres to the .netrc
format inorder to kill two birds with one stone.  That is the same parser can
be used to parse both .netrc, which is not a KDE specific file and the 
.kionetrc.  Otherwise we are going to require two separate parsers :(
Anyways, I do not mind writting an interface to the encryption framework for
this parser if it is needed or considering any approach I can take to do what
you are suggesting without having to bloat up the class :)
