Well, of course the code could be changed, but that just moves the
qVariantFromValue call from KUrl to some place else
(kdecore/config/kconfiggroup). The reason to add this operator is that
then KUrl can be used with a QVariant constructor when needed. Else code
that creates QVariant's using its constructor and a template value would
need to use the qVariantFromValue(). I took extra care to not use the
template version as that seems to create problems with older compilers. 

I wonder wether KUrl now needs a .moc file... But I don't know enough
for th QVariant/QMetaType magic and it seems to work on more recent
compilers...
