I am quite sure the first step shouldn't be to integrate that directly into 
kdelibs.
How about adding the ioslave somewhere to kde svn (playground ?), and post the 
changes required in kdelibs separately ?
They are not that big, so there may be a chance. OTOH maybe we can come up 
with a better (more flexible) way to hand that over to the gio bridge 
ioslave.
