how is the split supposed to work? kbackups needs to be used by
ksavefile to be useful in any way, so you don't get rid of the
dependency.
 
note that there is a qt-only ksavefile (more or less) equivalent in
qtcreator/src/libs/util/ which i would like to import into qt.

speaking of qt creator classes ...

qtcprocess is a replacement for most of kprocess+kshell. i already have
a plan how to import that with a nice api.
however, it also implies importing stringutils.cpp's
abstractmacroexpander (which, of course, is the logical successor to
kmacroexpander), and i'm *much* less sure about that one, in particular
which concrete implementations should be put into qt. somebody feels
like pondering the api? ping me.
