[Kde-hardware-devel] Making Solid give a visible name for products

[Albert Astals Cid]

Hi, i'm attaching a patch that adds the visibleName function for Solid 
devices, that is useful for places like the places viewer in dolphin or the 
device notifier in plasma. Currently when i connect my phone i get "Volume 
(fat32)" which sucks for two reasons:
 * It's not much detailed
 * Can't be translated

With the current patch, the "Can't be translated" part is fixed and now i get 
"7,4 GiB External Media" that is not a great improvement but at least can be 
translated.

The code is using "weird" variable names like drive_is_hotpluggable because it 
tries to be as similar to the original libhal-storage code i've been inspired 
by.

I'm not much happy about having to do things like 
	const OpticalDisc disc(const_cast<HalDevice*>(this));
but didn't find a better way to do it.

Comments?

Albert
