     @short An abstract base class for asynchronous key listers

     To use a KeyListJob, first obtain an instance from the
     CryptoBackend implementation, connect the nextKey(), progress()
     and result() signals to suitable slots and then start the key
     listing with a call to start(). This call might fail, in which
     case the KeylistJob instance will have schedules it's own
     destruction with a call to TQObject::deleteLater().

     During keylisting, you will receive new key objects through the
     nextKey() signal as they arrive. After result() is emitted, the
     KeyListJob will schedule it's own destruction by calling
     TQObject::deleteLater().
