I guess there are two issues - what specific features do we need for the image 
plugins, and do those features need a KimgIO class, or can they be done with 
Qt4's QImageIOPlugin/QImageIOHandler?
From what I've seen in Qt4, there may not be a lot more we need - there is now 
support for multiple frames in an image, you can ask the ImageHandler to 
provide a scaled image, a clipped image, a scaled&clipped image, save at a 
specific image resolution and quality,  and save with big or little endian.

Michael - have you tried porting the JP2 plugin to Qt4? My experience with the 
EXR plugin shows that there are a few things that I'd like to have added, but 
they are probably too specific to EXR.

If there are other things that are needed, we might be able to get the trolls 
to add it. Its getting kinda late, but they can probably add in sooner or 
later.
