For 4.0 we have still have the option to just copy the code from 
KDirSortFilterProxyModel into kdeapps/dolphin/src. By this we can check 
whether the interface of KCategorizedSortFilterProxyModel really works. If 
this is the case, we can cleanup everything in 4.1.

Moving KCategorizedSortFilterProxyModel into kdelibs now is quite risky from 
my point of view... I personally think having some code duplication in 
Dolphin for 4.0 is better than missing the chance to adjust the interface of 
KCategorizedSoftFilterProxyModel later. So no hack would be required in 
Dolphin, just some minor code duplication.

Bye,
Peter
