Good point, we should make itemsForDir() static as well and rename it to 
itemsForURL(). And then make KDirLister::items() return all items for all 
urls of the lister, not only the items for the root url (I only noticed that 
now).

excellent ;-)

Which method to use. Well, not sure, itemForURL sounds good if we can make the 
lookup more efficient that way. Because if all you need is a file most of the 
time or even the whole contents of a directory then itemForURL wouldn't gain 
us much. But if you possibly need the directory item itself we might be 
better off with a new itemForURL method indeed. 

About the naming, it should be consistent: we have KDirLister::findByURL() and 
findByName() already. So call all static methods querying the global items 
item(s)*() and all methods operating on the files the KDirLister holds 
find*()? Suggestions?
