What I was thinking of is, if KProcess goes into existence sometime with
at least the features of K3Process that are commonly used (that is
env-setting and the way of starting processes and adding the commands)
we could avoid the 2 portings (now to QProcess and then to KProcess).
OTOH Matt wants a port to QProcess rather sooner than later, so I guess
I'll do the port. Also that will enable us to properly parse QProcess
output wrt. lineendings.

Yes, thats something I'd like to have again. Would this then also
replace variable values, i.e. if I have FOO=/somehwere in the
environments and later on PATH=$FOO/bin:... would the process see this
properly expanded?
