Ideally, I guess we would make the versions in KDE4Support shims for the
Qt versions, which would then delegate to the platform plugin.  That
might mean ditching some of the more esoteric functions.

Alternatively, I'd propose just forking it, given that KFileDialog
probably contains a bunch of code that's not really relevant to the
platform plugin, for example.  I know that copying code is generally A
Bad Thing, but I think it would be reasonable in this instance.
