kdecore cannot depend on kde3support. The K3Process class, if we make one, 
has to be in kde3support.

So your option here is: port every use of KProcess in kdecore, kdeui and 
kio to the new class.

Renaming is not an option.

Not released, but at least until the snapshots of 4.2 start appearing and 
qt-copy switches to it.

This is the same as above.

I'll see what TT can do and, given the possibility, push the patch into 
qt-copy, as has been done with other Qt 4.2 features required by kdelibs.
