It's bad form to reply to one's own messages, I know, but I've made some progress and the topic is still warm...

The c't tutorial actually turned out to be quite useful in the end, although I haven't really found a definitive reference on the subject. > Thanks for the tips.

I'm not sure what exactly I did to get through to Konqueror but I can now browse an imaginary directory structure stored in a hierarchical list in my SlaveBase subclass. I'll try implementing a reasonable example IOSlave which provides all the main operations (get, put, copy, etc.) before doing anything really serious. I'd like to distribute this initial IOSlave as an example but it'll need to be configured using autoconf or DistUtils. I once used some sort of KDE project template builder to generate configuration files for a project; can anyone point me in the direction of this tool or even tell me where I'm likely to find it?!
