Summary: Provide generic support for non-local files

Initial Comment:
RKWard could provide generic read-access for non-local files in plugins. Basically, when a non-local url is selected in <browser>, on pressing submit, RKWard could download this to a temporary location, then pass the temporary location to R. This way R functions could profit from the KDE kioslaves.

This might even work for saving. R could be instructed to save to a temporary location, and RKWard would watch this using KDirWatcher, then sync the file to upstream. (But we'd need a way to figure out, when R is done writing).
