Hi,

 If you are interested, there is a similar function in module quanta
(quanta/qextfileinfo.*), called toRelative. The main difference is that it
works with KURL's.  There are other useful functions, maybe we can out some
of them in the kdelibs (so I CC to kde-core-devel):
toAbsolute: converts a relative url to absolute one. Maybe it can go to KURL
as a static method.
allFiles: returns in a KURL::List the recursive listing of the current dir
(local or remote). A filtering mask can be specified. This may fit in
KIO::Netaccess.
allFilesRelative: the same, but the returned KURL's will be relative to the
listed directory. This may fit in NetAccess, though.
createDir: creates the directories recursively (dir1/dir2/dir3) will be
correctly created, even if only dir1 exists, or none of the dirs exist.
NetAccess?
cdUp: may be also a nice addition to KURL.

The rest of the methods are internal ones, workarounds for NetAccess bugs and
backports of new NetAccess features (like file_copy).
