 * This class makes it easy for applications to provide a drag object
 * (for drag-n-drop or for clipboard) that has several representations
 * of the same data, under different formats.
 *
 * Instead of creating a specific class for each case (as would otherwise
 * be necessary), you can simply create independent drag objects (e.g.
 * a TQImageDrag object and a KURLDrag object), and bundle them together
 * using KMultipleDrag.
 *
 * Sample code for this:
 *
 * \code
 * KMultipleDrag *drag = new KMultipleDrag( parentWidget );
 * drag->addDragObject( new TQImageDrag( someQImage, 0 ) );
 * drag->addDragObject( new KURLDrag( someKURL, 0 ) );
 * drag->drag();
 * \endcode
 *
 * Note that the drag objects added to the multiple drag become owned by it.
 * For that reason their parent should be 0.
