Hmm. Only if it doesn't really hurry. I cannot promise whether I can do it this
evening. And from Friday until Monday I'm not at home - I would have the time
but I don't have a laptop :(

Two issues:

- kdelibs is feature-frozen - isn't it? Does it matter that the change would
affect binary compatibility of KIOSlavePool? Looks like a rather internal
class. Does it affect binary compatibility at all if we change/add static class
members?

- we need a "total slave count" to delete the oldest slaves if the number of
slaves becomes to large. Any "smarter" but also efficient solutions than
keeping a static int as counter? Also I cannot see how the slaves are actually
terminated by calling remove() on the QMap object.. Is this another bug?
