There are more indeed, I made a list at some point:

QHttpMultiPart
khtml html_formimpl.cpp
extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/*/*mpform*
/WebCore/platform/network/FormDataBuilder.cpp

and the validator and babelfish plugins need this too.

Did you look into QHttpMultiPart? Could it be used for all this?
If not, I'd recommend adding what's missing to it.
