[Kde-imaging] libkipi version 2

Hi.

No, not plugin!

AFAIK KIPI plugins use imlib to load images. It's not perfect. If anybody 
need to load some exostic image format and he has decoder for it, how he 
can apply, say, image processing filters from KIPI to it ? He should 
convert this exotic format to PNG/JPEG/smth_else and only then use KIPI.

I mean it will be great to let user do smth like

-------------------------------------------

class MyDecoder : public KIPI::Decoder
{
       ...
       KIPI::Image readImage(const KURL &url);
};

class MyEncoder : public KIPI::Encoder
{
       ...
       int writeImage(const KURL &url, const KIPI::Image &image);
};

...

my_kipi_interface->setDecoder(new MyDecoder);
my_kipi_interface->setEncoder(new MyEncoder);

-------------------------------------------

It will give us the ability to use external libraries like DevIL (or our 
own images codecs) etc.
