time_t => QDateTime, that's easy enough.

mode_t is a lot more problematic. The permissions part of it can be ported to 
QFile::Permissions (except when suid/sgid matters), and the "type of file" 
part of it (file, directory, socket, etc.) needs custom code, if it was 
actually used.
The other part of the story for mode_t is that it used to be useful to 
KMimeType but it isn't any longer (with the switch to QMimeType).
This propagates up to KRun, which no longer really needs the mode_t, since it 
was mostly giving it to KMimeType. Which in turn propagates up to users of 
KRun...

I would recommend that people help with time_t -> QDateTime, while I battle 
with the mode_t usage...
