That is what I was also thinking for KIO, which is probably the biggest 
piece we are gonna miss with KDE integration. It could be solved by 
implementing an abstraction layer for file system access. Something 
like:

class IOAccess
{
public:
   QIODevice openReadStream(const QUrl& _url);
   QIODevice openWriteStream(const QUrl& _url);
};

And then have two implementations, one for KIO (used on Linux) and one 
using QFile. I guess this might be moved in the future to KF, as I guess 
many more KDE Applications who wants portability don't really care about 
all the features of KIO's API, and just want to read files.
