Review request for Calligra, Boudewijn Rempt, Inge Wallin, C. Boemann, and Sven Langkamp.


Description
-------

Blob tool is the name for a vector brush that creates a broad stroke that fuses with itself and with other shapes that have the same styling, thus helping to create more organic-looking vector images.
This patch implements a very basic version of this tool, missing the ability to fuse shapes with other shapes, which I am postponing until we fix bug 297623 (see thread http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2012-August/006633.html ).
Further details and a link to a video in blog  http://pentalis.org/kritablog/?p=315

Note: some dependencies (like KarbonCurveFit) need to be moved, I will post a separate review for that, because I need to discuss what directory it belongs to.

I need an easy way to make clear I commit my code in either license, LGPL, GPL, or anything we need for it to fit well in our project; it's not easy to convey since files accumulate more contributors the more time passes by. Suggestions appreciated.

Testing
-------

Tested compilation, loading in applications Karbon and Krita, and basic functioning of the tool. It works (incompletely) as intended for a small group of use cases. Also tested speed, it needs to be faster, but is usable.


Thanks,

José Luis Vergara
