downloaded gnu fileutils and looked at their code and learnt alot ;-)

SAVE AS should now be comparatively as fast as 'cp -a'.
(but when you click SAVE_AS, it does a copy and a load, so the whole process is 
still longer that just a 'cp -a')
It now uses a mix between C-file-descriptors and QFiles...
i'll try to use QDataStream so that the code becomes cleaner and more 
C++/QTish, it should be possible to keep it as fast.
But i think one file descriptor will still be needed to obtain the device's 
(disk) prefered blocksize.
