Yep. I removed the kio+kparts dependencies from kutils before 4.0, but then kprintpreview was added and I didn't notice the re-added dependencies :(

KUtils doesn't need KIO anymore

This is very much like undoing the mistaken addition of kprintpreview indeed,
which should have been in its own lib. Another solution would be to put 
it in kparts but I guess there might be more printing-related classes coming 
up in the future so a separate lib seems to make sense -- libkdeprint anyone? ;)

The "kcmutils" name made me hesitate (kpluginselector.cpp is not related to KCMs), but ok,
it's more or less all about "configuration management" :). And it will stop people from treating
kutils as a dumping ground...

So, no objections from me.
