this is actually one case where a DataEngine doesn't really make sense, as it
isn't actually fetching data.
what it is doing is:
* posting data to a web site
* showing the user the returned URL
which means that this would work as a Plasma::Service. while most Services are
associated with DataEngines, they are also loadable on their own if created as
a Service plugin (in their own .so, not as part of an engine).
i don't know if pastebin'ing is useful enough to create a service plugin for,
but if one wants to do the Full Plasma Monty with this applet, a Service would
be the way to go.
