Okay, then implement a lazy-read (that the config-files only get parsed
when the first call to readEntry() is made) and add a KConfig::Close()
method where you explicitely can tell the KConfig Objekt that you won't
access it in the near future any more (it can free the loaded data mem
and reload it on the next access to readEntry/writeEntry).
