Review request for KDE Games.


Changes
-------

Sync with my Git (see http://git.bethselamin.de/ for clone URL). New features include:
- multithreaded rendering
- shared caches per theme
- boundsOnSprite API


Summary (updated)
-------

KGameRenderer is a small SVG->PNG rendering framework for use in KDE games, which shall be added to libkdegames in the 4.6 cycle. For the story behind it, see http://kde.markmail.org/message/plfkwfeoni6nvpk2

Most important features:
- management of SVG themes (via KGameTheme and QSvgRenderer)
- reading of animated sprites (i.e. multiple SVG elements which are displayed one after the other to obtain an animation)
- multithreaded rendering
- two caching levels (in-process QHashes and shared KSharedDataCache)
- integration with QGraphicsView through the KGameRenderedItem class
- integrability with any existing implementations through the KGameRendererClient base class

Testing (updated)
-------

I have ported KDiamond to KGameRenderer (in a local Git working branch). The port is stable and much faster, both in animation performance and startup time. (Memory consumption has not yet been tested.)


Thanks,

Stefan
