Problem with this is, each application who wish to use an QImageIO filter
has to link them explicitly.
KImageIO provides a KDE wide mechanism with central registration.
The Qt filter mechanisms would be fine for stand-alone applications, but
less than optimal for desktop applications. Imagine
that Konqueror could read TIFFs (as an example), while Kicker could not do
it...
I am not quite sure if KImageIO filters can be layered, so that they can be
either used separately (QImageIO) or
as part of KImageIO.
I am interested in this problem because I have implemented a KImageIO filter
for SVG files (using KSVG), which I would like to test.
