[PATCH] New image loader (Softimage PIC)

[Ruben Lopez]

Hi,

I have checked the svn repository of kdelibs today, and this patch was 
not included yet. Is there anything else that I should adapt in the 
source code in order to have it included? Should I submit the patch to 
some tracking system?

Thanks in advance.
