Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Description
-------

This patch adds a macro that allows to convert .desktop files to .json format during build.

#
# desktop_to_json(desktopfile [jsonfile])
#
# This macro uses desktoptojson to compile a json file, from a plugin
# description in a .desktop file. The generated file can be compiled
# into the plugin using the K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON (cpp) macro.
#
# When jsonFile is omitted, the macro will replace the .desktop file
# extension of the first argument with .json and use that as output.
#
# Examples:
#
#  desktop_to_json(plasma-dataengine-time.desktop)
#
#  desktop_to_json(plasma-dataengine-time.desktop my_output_file.json)
#

With this macro, the desktoptojson programme, the KPluginInfo ctor and the KPluginFactory macros, I can build a Qt-style plugin with minimal changes.

Testing
-------

Built different plugins with this macro, they can build a valid KPluginInfo from the plugin metadata. Test is in plasma-framework/src/plasma/tests/kplugin (as it uses DataEngines).


Thanks,
