[Digikam-users] I broked it :-( - dependency problems

[Gilles Caulier]

These XML file come from OpenCV. We are copied some of them because
openCV do not include it in official release (especially in Windows
install), or are packaged in a separated package (like there is a bin
package and a data package)
