This is different. Using libkdcraw means applications have to explicitly add 
support for raw files. QtRaw is a QImageIOPlugin, so applications do not have 
to do anything to load a raw image

This is also different: it is a thumbnailer, it cannot be used to load a raw 
file in a QImage.

The wheel is already there, it just needs a bit of polish :)
