[KPhotoAlbum] Speeding up directory scanning

Thanks for the patch. I'll keep it around.

For the release, it is of course completely out of the question (I know you 
know), for longer time frame, I'd still like to first push this onto a 
thread. The reason is that this code (I assume) makes it harder to port KPA 
to windows (a request I get over and over and over and over again, and 
something perhaps doable when KPA has been ported to Qt4)

Cheers
Jesper.
