+KMultiPart implements "server push" for KHTML/Konqueror:
+it handles the multipart/mixed and multipart/x-mixed-replace
+mimetype, embedding the appropriate component (part).
+
+Documentation at http://www.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html
+
+Typical real-world uses: webchats, webcams...
+
+Testcases:
+ http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/examples/
+
+TODO:
+* Use the new streaming API of KParts to pipe data into the part,
+the current code does that for KHTML only.
+* Change KHTML so that it embeds KMultiPart for images which send multipart/x-mixed-replace
+data.
