I've put myself down (rather obviously) for KPrintUtils.  Most of the
dialog code from there has been merged into Qt5.2, or is planned for
Qt 5.3, so needs deleting.  I'm also wondering if we still need our
own KPrintPreview dialog, there was a reason in 4.0 but I can't
remember why now and I'm not sure it is still valid.  Alex Merry might
remember, was it because QPrintPreview wasn't available at the time?
We may not end up with much left here :-)

If the original author Petri Damst=E9n doesn't step up, I could take on
KUnitConversion, seeing as I'm partly familiar with the code.

Cheers!

John.
