Yes, I'm sorry that the kauth isn't yet there in knewstuff. The installation of things is a bit ugly, because knewstuff supports quite a few different settings.
I started towards this (cleaning up and streamlining some very old code) but I can't promise that it will be finished soon. On the other hand, if I get the cleaning done, it will be just one place where the downloaded files are moved to their destination, so introducing kauth there would be easy enough (but I'll be gone until next weekend).
