PlasmaKPart moved to kdereview

[Ryan Rix]

One and all,

Thanks for the feedback, I think i've addressed everyone's feedback.

* Messages.sh updated (Albert, can you verify that I Got It Right that time?)
* Addressed Richard Moore's suggestions... There are still no dptrs, because 
users aren't supposed to link with the kpart; it's loaded using the plugin 
system.
* I removed the createConfigurationInterface hack with the advice of Aaron. 
Users of the kpart will have to write their own applet selector, and they can 
get a list of running applets by using m_part->property("activeApplets"), and 
can add new applets by connecting to the kpart and emitting an 
addApplet(QString) signal.
* Addressed most of the Krazy issues. The scripting/ licensing stuff is 
Aaron's business as I'm not sure of the validity of editing other peoples' 
copyright headers.
