Dataengine to get bookmarks

Hello,
I committed a dataengine to playground. This dataengine should get the
bookmarks of various browsers like Firefox, Konqueror or Opera. At the moment
it only supports Firefox.
As some of you may know I added Firefox support to the bookmark runner for KDE
SC 4.4. I noticed that it is easy to get the bookmarks of Konqueror but hard
to get Firefox's. So I thought it would be nice to get this data easily.
The dataengine uses the browsers as source. For every bookmark there are two
entries: num-name and num-url where num is replaced with an integer value. Two
equal integers mean that name and url are the ones of the same bookmark.
This makes it easy to access the bookmarks of different browsers without
writing the code for getting them in every application. For example the
bookmark runner could use this to get the bookmarks very quick instead of
searching for them.
I hope you like this idea and I'd be glade if you would comment it. I know
that this can't be added to KDE SC 4.4 so I hope I don't annoy you with this.
Greetings, Jan Gerrit Marker
