It's not that easy to remove KConfigBase, because it's is used in many
places; especially the dreprecated read and write methods.
I know you have provided patches for kdepimlibs, kdelibs and kdebase, but I
can't help with porting the other stuff, because I can't compile most
things.
My idea was to keep KConfigBase, make everything in it but a few methods for
group management deprecated (groupList and hastGroup and such stuff) and let
KConfigGroup inherit KConfigBase like in kde3. This would make adding
support for nested groups really easy (I plan to do this for KDE 4.1).
I would also like do some other cleanups like removing KConfigFlags (it
contains only one lonely enum), make the use of QString, QByteArry and const
char * more consistent and some other small things.
I will commit the changes to Thomas' work branch a soon as they are ready.

I wanted to do this already earlier this week, but I had a very bad cold and
didn't do much of anything :(
