/**
* @class ConfigLoader plasma/configloader.h <Plasma/ConfigLoader>
*
* @short A KConfigSkeleton that populates itself based on KConfigXT XML
*
* This class allows one to ship an XML file and reconstitute it into a
* KConfigSkeleton object at runtime. Common usage might look like this:
*
* \code
* QFile file(xmlFilePath);
* Plasma::ConfigLoader appletConfig(configFilePath, &file);
* \endcode
*
* Alternatively, any QIODevice may be used in place of QFile in the
* example above.
*
* Currently the following data types are supported:
*
* @li bools
* @li colors
* @li datetimes
* @li enumerations
* @li fonts
* @li ints
* @li passwords
* @li paths
* @li strings
* @li stringlists
* @li uints
* @li urls
* @li doubles
* @li int lists
* @li longlongs
* @li path lists
* @li points
* @li rects
* @li sizes
* @li ulonglongs
* @li url lists
