Hi,

looking at
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132269
I found that the implementation for the filesize in mentioned plugin uses 
unsigned long
Probably it's safer to use KIO::filesize_t

I changed that. Also, it's not clear for me why it uses the KDiskFreeSp class
as this needs an external program to get the data, which is a lot overhead.

I changed the kfile-plugin to directly call statvfs()
The man page says, statvfs() is conforming to POSIX. Can I safely assume this 
is available on all supported platforms ?
(it seems that KDiskFreeSp relied on the fact that there is a "df" program 
available)

If I don't miss something, I'd suggest that KDiskFreeSp shall be removed in 
KDE-4.
Wasn't there a URL where I can check which other KDE files use that class  
(cross reference) ?

Do you think this is OK to commit ?

(The patch is against KDE-3.5.5, but if OK I'd change it in KDE-4, too)
