    Description

      It would be nice if QProcess have a way to require super user privileges for the process that is going to start. Under Mac and Linux this would be sudo( like package managers ask for super user password in order to continue ) and under Windows to invoke the UAC if windows is Vista and up.

      Note: Under Windows this can be easy done with ShellExecute() with lpOperation param to be "runas", it is not officially documented by Microsoft, but works perfectly on all Windows versions that have UAC turned on.
