No it does't (well, except a job-tracker gui). KIO is async IO on top of
KJob, you can very easily use plain KJob to do other stuff. KJob is just
a contract to the outside how an async job looks and behaves like and it
covers the common functionality of such jobs. Anything that you need to
implement on top of kjob is custom to your problem space anyway. The
only thing that really is not in kdecore is the mentioned job-tracking
ui which allows for monitoring, cancelling etc. of the jobs (thats in
kdeui though IIRC).
