The LGPL expressely allows you to re-license under the GPL (of the same 
version).

Shell quoting?  You may find debugging easier if, rather than sending 
the args to an echo command, you simply do
kDebug() << argList;
because that will give you the divisions.

However, you shouldn't need to quote anything, including the file name, 
because you're not using the execute-under-a-shell functionality of 
KProcess.

I'll have a look at it.
