Review request for KDE Frameworks and kdewin.

Description
-------

Implement KUser::faceIconPath on Windows.

I use an undocumented Windows API (http://undoc.airesoft.co.uk/shell32.dll/SHGetUserPicturePath.php) that stores the profile image in a temporary file and returns the path to it. The previous code was just trying to load that temporary file, and would only work if another app had created the file recently (such as the control panel section where the image is changed).

This only works on Windows Vista and later; on Windows XP the undocumented API is different, and faceIconPath will just return an empty string.

Compiled with MSVC2010, tested via the new faceicontest on Windows 7.


Thanks,
