 From the bugtracker:
1. If you enter "x:", where "x" is a valid driveletter, it fails to open 
it, even though "/x:" and "x:\" do work, and even though these are 
changed by Dolphin to "x:".

-> KUrl should accept x: too - this is a bug in our win32 specific part 
of the KUrl ctor. /x: is wrong and must not be accepted.

2. When navigating to subfolders of drives, Dolphin shows "/" in the 
path instead of "\" even though it's running on Windows.

-> this should be handled by dolphin with QDir::toNativeSeparators(). 
KUrl shouldn't touch this as QUrl, QFile and QDir doesn't do either.
