QUrl -> KUrl porting script

[David Faure]

Hi Alex,

I guess you mean KUrl -> QUrl, rather :-)

It does, but only a very tiny bit:
  # KDE4 code: url.adjustPath(KUrl::RemoveTrailingSlash);
        #     => url = url.adjusted(QUrl::StripTrailingSlash);

Everything else is indeed useless by now. The reason is:

kdelibs itself (branch frameworks) went from KUrl to
QUrlPathInfo (for many things that were missing a QUrl), this was a class I 
developed within kdelibs for possible submission into Qt later on.
But then further discussion with Thiago led to changing QUrl itself instead.
So kdelibs went
KUrl -> QUrlPathInfo -> QUrl,
and it's that second step that convert-kurl.pl is mostly about.

For other modules, who want to go KUrl -> QUrl, the script needs to be 
extended indeed. I just added that to my todo list.
