I would like to add some new functions to kde_file.h - if possible 
before 4.2 so we can handle non-encodeable filenames on windows.

namespace KDE
{
   KDECORE_EXPORT int chmod(const QString &path, mode_t mode);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int link(const QString &in, const QString &out);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int lstat(const QString &path, KDE_struct_stat *buf);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int mkdir(const QString &pathname, mode_t mode);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int open(const QString &pathname, int flags);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int open(const QString &pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int rmdir(const QString &pathname);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int remove(const QString &pathname);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int rename(const QString &in, const QString &out);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int stat(const QString &path, KDE_struct_stat *buf);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int symlink(const QString &in, const QString &out);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int unlink(const QString &pathname);
   KDECORE_EXPORT int utime(const QString &filename, struct utimbuf *buf);
};
Maybe I forgot some but for now that were all I needed to compile kdelibs.

If you think this will slow down file I/O I can inline most of the 
functions (at least for unix it's only a replacement for 
::foo(QFile::encodeName(path)) ).
