I implemented it some years ago (KDE 1 time if I'm not wrong). I was 
working at that time with files generated by high resolution medical 
scanners, so I thought it would be nice if KDE applications could open the 
mammographies I was trying to analyze.

I'm no longer working with those files nor know of anyone that has used it 
in the meantime, so I suppose it's ok to remove the support to open krl 
files (Sigh! :( ).
