Well, in KDE4 the input for the vCard parser is a QByteArray, in other
words plain data without previous convertion. In KDE3 the vCard parser
expects a QString, so you always need at least one convertion from the
raw data (QCString) to QString. From your patch it looks like to always
use latin1. Are you sure that doesn't remove any information from the
input data?

The right fix would be to use QCString as input data for vCard parser,
however that's not possible because it's SIC/BIC. (I know, bad design
in 3.x cycle...)

So if you are _really, really_ sure that your patch doesn't break _any_
other usage of the parser in KDE3, I'm fine with a commit, otherwise I
don't see a chance to fix it.

Ciao,
Tobias
