KIO::listRecursive() with filters

[Milian Wolff]

Hi all!

I'm one of the guys hacking on KDevelop and ported the generic project manager 
to KIO to make it work for remote projects (think web projects on some server 
or similar).

I decided to use KIO::listRecursive() which works wonderfully. One big sore 
thumb I have with it, is performance. Perse it's wonderful, but users 
might/want/will filter what is considered part of their project. By default 
e.g. I filter hidden files and .svn|.git|CVS folders. One could think of a lot 
more.

Right now, I have to filter what KIO::listRecursive() gives me. But this is 
potentially a lot of unwanted stuff since the list job recurses into filtered 
directories. Hence my sore thumb regarding performance...

How do you suggest should I fix this? Since listRecursive essentially just 
creates a ListJobPrivate I'd need to change that one. Esp. slotListEntries() 
if I see it correctly. Thing is: It's private, hence I can't simply overload 
it...

Help!
