Example code?

Don't use popen and don't use socket notifiers. Anything else is acceptable. I 
did not understand what you meant about QProcess.

IOSlaves only talk to the application and to klauncher. You cannot make them 
talk to something else without changing the protocol. Why are you passing 
data from it to a third party? Why can't that application request data from 
the IOSlave directly and bypass the middle-man (you)?
