/**
 * KProcIO
 *
 * This class provides a slightly simpler interface to the communication
 *  functions provided by KProcess.  The simplifications are:
 *    @li The buffer for a write is copied to an internal KProcIO
 *        buffer and maintained/freed appropriately.  There is no need
 *        to be concerned with wroteStdin() signals _at_all_.
 *    @li readln() reads a line of data and buffers any leftovers.
 *    @li Conversion from/to tqunicode.
 *
 * Basically, KProcIO gives you buffered I/O similar to fgets()/fputs().
 *
 * Aside from these, and the fact that start() takes different
 * parameters, use this class just like KProcess.
