Hmm, I found my original patch that is the basis of these files 
(http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=99532262106552&w=2), but I can't 
find the replies from Hans Petter anymore in my local archives, and IIRC he 
replied in private, so the online archives can't be used either. :(

They should be identical files though, so rather easy to move to kdelibs. I'm 
not sure what the reasoning was against putting it in kdelibs. I didn't, 
that's for sure, but why?

They used to be somewhere in the side bar, but even in my KDE 2.2 version of 
khelpcenter I can't find the location anymore. Or rather, I can't even find 
the old sidebar. Strange.

I guess it's sane enough to move this into kdelibs for KDE 3.2. For 3.1 sounds 
a bit too late now, I don't think it's that urgent. Please add it to the 
list.
