I'm still missing that factory... something like

KConfigFactory::getKConfigObjectFor( const QCString & instancename );

This is needed because in the KCModule one cannot access the KInstance object 
of the KPart or plugin to get the KConfig object, but the internal name of 
the KInstance is known.

(I used QCString because that's what's used for the KInstance name.)
