 * This class is to be used instead of TQUriDrag when using KURL.
 * The reason is: TQUriDrag (and the XDND/W3C standards) expect URLs to
 * be encoded in UTF-8 (unicode), but KURL uses the current locale
 * by default.
 * The other reasons for using this class are:
 * @li it exports text/plain (for dropping/pasting into lineedits, mails etc.)
 * @li it has support for metadata, shipped as part of the dragobject
 * This is important, for instance to set a correct HTTP referrer (some websites
 * require it for downloading e.g. an image).
 *
 * To create a drag object, use the KURLDrag constructor.
 * To handle drops, use TQUriDrag::canDecode() and KURLDrag::decode()
