[websites/konqueror-org] features: Try giving this page some more text and also mention FISH; some of this might go in the user documentation as well.

Hi Ade,

are we sure we want to advertise the fish kioslave, though? It's
a really ugly hack that works by uploading a Perl script to the
remote host and is only needed for SSH servers that don't have
SFTP enabled (which is enabled by default in OpenSSH). The sftp://
kioslave, using libssh, is generally held to be more robust and
is based on an upstream codebase under active maintenance ...


Cheers,
Eike
